FPL Gameweek 7 Results: Monday's Top Scores And Talking Points

Managers who armbanded him doubled a nine.

Maddison matched the tally. One goal, two bonus, nine points — and he did it in 68 minutes before coming off. Kudus supplied an assist and a bonus point for six across his 86 minutes.

The line of the day belongs to Davies. He played 21 minutes. He scored. Seven points for a defender on a fifth of a match. His owners did nothing to earn it. That is how FPL works some weeks.

Note the goal that cost every Spurs defender. Rudoni struck for Coventry City in his 86 minutes, so no Spurs clean sheet. Robertson's assist still carried him to five points in 68 minutes. Van Hecke played 90 for four. Davies profited anyway because a defender's goal does not need a shutout.

On the Coventry City side, Rudoni's goal returned six points and Thomas-Asante added an assist for five. Both played most of the match. A 1-3 defeat still paid two of their players.

Solanke is the entry owners will check first. Ninety minutes, one assist, four points. He played the full match and contributed to a goal while Marmoush took the headlines up front. The minutes are the fact that matters: Solanke started and finished.

The round-up, then. Marmoush was the captain of the day — goal, maximum bonus, nine points. Maddison returned the same total in less time. Davies banked seven from the bench. No Spurs clean sheet, so the defensive points came from attacking returns, not shutouts.

The call the facts force: Marmoush started, scored, took the bonus and played 86 minutes. He starts. Owners who captained him got it right. Owners who benched Davies for GW7 got nothing back — he stays in squads as a player who scores when he comes on, and he plays the role the minutes say he plays: a substitute. Start Marmoush. Start Maddison. Hold Davies on the bench until his minutes say otherwise.
