Chips and the crowd
community consensusThe crowd's GW7 is a choice between the Wildcard, as City, Spurs, Bournemouth and Coventry start kind runs, and a Triple Captain on Haaland at home to Ipswich. A GW7 Wildcard sets up a Bench Boost in GW8, with all three promoted sides at home; the Free Hit waits for GW12, when Arsenal host City.
