"Palmer again, ole ole" rang around Stamford Bridge last weekend as Chelsea beat Brighton 4-2 in the Premier League with Cole Palmer starring by scoring all four goals.
Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers who have him in their starting XI will have reaped the rewards as he was the top points scorer in Gameweek 6 by a mile, bagging 25 points to take his tally to 61 overall and now sits second out of everyone behind Manchester City's Erling Haaland.
Another weekend means another FPL gameweek and for each one, we'll be keeping you up-to-date with all the latest that's going on, including transfers while the windows are open, injury news, suspensions, who's playing who and our own FPL picks and transfers too.
Here's Indy100's preview for FPL gameweek 7.
FPL injuries
Each gameweek, this is a comprehensive guide to players who are out or are a doubt for each club in the order they appear for their club in FPL.
If they have a knock and a chance of playing, this will be reflected (if they have a 75 per cent chance of playing, the number will be by their name in brackets, the same for 50 per cent chance and so on), otherwise they are ruled out.

FPL suspensions
Some players have picked up suspensions for being sent off or are ineligible to face their parent club after joining a different team on loan.
- Southampton - Jack Stephens
Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes picked up a second yellow card at home to Spurs last weekend but his sending off has been overturned, meaning he is eligible to play at Aston Villa next time out.

FPL Gameweek 7 picks - Indy100 FPL team update
Well that didn't go exactly to plan...
Indy100 played its Wildcard in Gameweek 6 but didn't include Palmer which turned out to be disastrous, a few other picks haven't quite gone to plan and 16 points were lost on the bench...
Still, no knee-jerk reactions here as Indy100 is hopeful the same squad can turn it around this week - although there are two changes to the starting XI as Leicester City's Wout Faes (who has Bournemouth at home) comes in for Manchester United's Noussair Mazraoui (who has a tricky trip to Aston Villa) and Villa's Morgan Rogers comes in for Fulham's Emile Smith-Rowe (who travels to Manchester City).
Arsenal's Bukayo Saka is captain this week with Southampton at home and Manchester City's Erling Haaland is vice-captain.
Indy100 is up to three free transfers now and will look at any potential tweaks over the international break when up to four free changes will be available.
