Super Manager Runde 7: best buys and hidden gems
Super Manager Runde 7 preview: best buys, hidden gems and who to sell
Runde 7 of Super Manager is a round where the obvious names are not where it is won. Mohamed Elyounoussi sits in nearly every second squad, and owning him separates you from nobody. What separates you is the six or seven cheaper slots behind him — and the model has moved sharply on several of them this week. Three widely-owned players have dropped to zero projected minutes, and two sub-4.0m midfielders now project higher than players costing twice as much.
The deadline is Friday 4 September at 19:00, when Viborg host Lyngby. Below are the buys, the differentials and the sells, with every number taken from the current model run.
Runde 7 fixtures: where the points are
Two fixtures stand clear. Brøndby IF at home to Randers FC carries the best clean-sheet projection of the round alongside a strong attacking line, because Randers have the weakest attack in the league on underlying numbers — 0.86 xG per game this season. AGF at home to Silkeborg is the highest-scoring projection of the round; Silkeborg concede 1.64 xG per game and carry a net xG difference of -0.61.
| Team | Fixture | Win% | Projected goals | Clean sheet% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brøndby IF | [H]Randers FC | 62.6% | 2.09 | 38.5% |
| AGF | [H]Silkeborg | 62.2% | 2.31 | 31.0% |
| FC København | [A]OB | 54.8% | 1.97 | 30.7% |
| FC Midtjylland | [H]Nordsjælland | 51.4% | 1.97 | 26.2% |
| Viborg | [H]Lyngby | 51.0% | 1.89 | 28.1% |
| Sønderjyske | [H]AC Horsens | 43.8% | 1.53 | 29.8% |
FC Midtjylland - Nordsjælland is the standout match on paper. Nordsjælland have been the best team in the league by underlying numbers — 2.82 xG per game, 1.03 xGC, three clean sheets in five — but they travel to the meanest defence in the division, with FC Midtjylland conceding just 0.88 xG per game. The model still gives the home side the edge at 51.4%, and it is the one fixture where both attacks are priced down.
Teams to avoid this round: Randers FC, Silkeborg, AC Horsens and OB. You can check every fixture on the Super Manager schedule and the underlying prices on the market probabilities page.
Goalkeepers for Runde 7
Patrick Pentz (4.92m, Brøndby IF) is the straightforward pick at 76k projected, the highest of any keeper, on a 38.5% clean-sheet chance — the best in the round. He is only 12.1% owned, which is low for the round's strongest defensive fixture.
Mads Hedenstad Christiansen (4.56m, AGF) is the differential at 1.1% ownership. He projects 72k this round on a 31.0% clean sheet, and he has the strongest six-round outlook of any keeper in the game at a weighted 238k. If you want one keeper to hold rather than rotate, this is the one.
On a budget, Kasper Kiilerich (3.55m, Viborg) returns 63k at a PPM of 17.7 and has played every minute of the season so far. Viborg's 1.06 xGC per game is the second-best defensive record in the league.
One to plan for rather than buy now: Diant Ramaj (5.05m, FC København) projects 71k here but climbs to 84k in Runde 8, when FC København host AC Horsens with a 43.7% clean-sheet chance — comfortably the best defensive fixture of the next two rounds.
Defenders in Runde 7: buy Brøndby now, FC København next
The defensive story of Runde 7 is a timing story. Brøndby's back line has the best single-round projection in the game, and then falls off a cliff.
Luis Binks (4.55m, Brøndby IF) leads all defenders at 69k with a 0.36 clean-sheet projection. Jordi Vanlerberghe (3.48m, Brøndby IF) gives you nearly the same output for a million less — 65k at a PPM of 18.7 — and Oliver Villadsen (3.81m, Brøndby IF) adds 60k. All three are genuine one-round buys: their Runde 8 projections fall to 34k, 31k and 29k when Brøndby travel to FC Midtjylland. Selling Vanlerberghe again next week costs about 35k in fees — trivial against a 65k round.
Felix Beijmo (4.76m, FC København) is the defender to actually hold. He projects 69k this round and then 88k in Runde 8, for a weighted 236k across six rounds — the best of any defender. Gabriel Pereira (4.24m, FC København) is the lower-owned route into the same defence at 5.1%, projecting 64k and then 78k.
The budget pick is Ebube Duru (2.00m, Sønderjyske). At 0.3% ownership he is effectively unowned, he has started all six league games this season, and he projects 55k — a PPM of 27.6, the best of any defender in the game. Sønderjyske host an AC Horsens side that has yet to keep a clean sheet and concedes 1.82 xG per game.
Magnus Jensen (3.21m, FC Midtjylland) is worth noting at 61k and a PPM of 18.9 behind the league's best defence. One caution: Rasmus Carstensen (4.22m, AGF) projects 63k but only 52 minutes, so treat him as a rotation risk and check the predicted lineups before the deadline.
Midfielders: the cheap AGF pair is the story of Runde 7
Mohamed Elyounoussi (8.36m, FC København) is the highest-projected player in the round at 129k, and he stays there: 129k → 133k → 103k, a weighted 436k. He takes the penalties on a 93% share and has six goals from 2.72 xG in 450 minutes, an xGI90 of 0.72. At 47.0% ownership he is not a differential, but at this projection he is not a player to be clever about either.
Kristian Arnstad (6.85m, AGF) is second at 115k with an 89% penalty share against the division's most generous defence.
The two picks that actually decide leagues this round are both cheap and both AGF. James Bogere (2.70m, AGF) projects 113k — third-highest in the entire game — at a PPM of 41.7, comfortably the highest of any midfielder in the game. The caveat is 59 projected minutes, so he carries substitution risk. Sebastian Jørgensen (3.66m, AGF) has no such caveat: 81 projected minutes, 107k, and just 1.5% ownership. He has an xGI90 of 0.72 this season from two assists and 1.91 xA in 340 minutes. If you take one name from this preview, take this one.
Marcus Younis (3.42m, Brøndby IF) is the third cheap standout at 108k, a PPM of 31.6 and an 84% penalty share, owned by only 7.3%.
For the longer hold, Robert (5.74m, FC København) projects 99k → 120k → 73k for a weighted 329k. Mads Frøkjær-Jensen (4.47m, Brøndby IF) at 92k and Olti Hyseni (4.17m, Brøndby IF) at 86k round out the Brøndby midfield, though Hyseni's 56 projected minutes make him the weaker of the two this week.
A deep differential: Ismail Seydi (4.00m, Sønderjyske) is owned by 0.1% of managers, takes every Sønderjyske penalty and projects 78k.
Forwards for Runde 7
Franculino (9.71m, FC Midtjylland) is the premium at 106k with an 87% penalty share and the best weighted six-round score of any forward at 336k. He has played only 270 league minutes this season, so the case for him rests on role and penalties rather than accumulated form.
Dorian Hanza (4.57m, Viborg) at 102k and a PPM of 22.4 is the best value at the top end. Filip Bundgaard (4.18m, Brøndby IF) has risen sharply to 96k on 60 projected minutes and is owned by just 5.9% — the best-value forward differential in the round.
Charly Horneman (4.04m, Viborg) is the one to hold rather than rotate: 90k → 73k → 62k, a weighted 247k, and an xGI90 of 0.62 across 475 minutes. At 5.6% ownership he is still under the radar.
Planning ahead, Andreas Cornelius (5.67m, FC København) projects 78k this round and 95k in Runde 8. Cheaper options: Adrian Justinussen (2.88m, AC Horsens) at 60k with a 67% penalty share, and Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan (3.48m, AC Horsens) at 68k — but both fall away in Runde 8, so treat them as single-round buys.
Captain pick and the best picks in Runde 7, ranked
Super Manager has a captain (kaptajn) and he scores double, so the top of the ranking below is also the armband decision: Mohamed Elyounoussi (8.36m, FC København) at 129k is the pick, with Kristian Arnstad (6.85m, AGF) at 115k the differential alternative. Below that, the ranking is simply where the projected points are concentrated. Compare the full list on the Super Manager player picks page.
| # | Player | Price | Runde 7 | Ownership |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mohamed Elyounoussi (FC København) | 8.36m | 129k | 47.0% |
| 2 | Kristian Arnstad (AGF) | 6.85m | 115k | 10.4% |
| 3 | James Bogere (AGF) | 2.70m | 113k | 19.8% |
| 4 | Marcus Younis (Brøndby IF) | 3.42m | 108k | 7.3% |
| 5 | Sebastian Jørgensen (AGF) | 3.66m | 107k | 1.5% |
| 6 | Franculino (FC Midtjylland) | 9.71m | 106k | 32.2% |
| 7 | Dorian Hanza (Viborg) | 4.57m | 102k | 19.2% |
Remember the squad cap: you may field a maximum of four players from any single club, so an AGF or Brøndby block has a hard ceiling.
Hidden gems and differentials for Runde 7
- Sebastian Jørgensen (3.66m, AGF) — 107k, 1.5% owned, 81 projected minutes. The best risk-adjusted differential in the round.
- Ebube Duru (2.00m, Sønderjyske) — 55k at 0.3% ownership and the best defensive PPM in the game at 27.6.
- Filip Bundgaard (4.18m, Brøndby IF) — 96k at 5.9% ownership, in the round's best all-round fixture.
- Mads Hedenstad Christiansen (4.56m, AGF) — 72k at 1.1% ownership, and the best six-round keeper outlook at 238k.
- Ismail Seydi (4.00m, Sønderjyske) — 78k, sole penalty taker, 0.1% owned.
- Charly Horneman (4.04m, Viborg) — 90k, 5.6% owned, with 0.62 xGI90 behind it.
One to buy next round rather than now: Simon Colyn (2.74m, Lyngby) has the best xGI90 in this group at 0.76, but Lyngby travel to Viborg this week. His projection climbs from 59k to 64k and 71k across Runde 8 and Runde 9.
Who to sell before Runde 7
Three widely-owned players now carry zero projected minutes for every remaining round — the model has them out of their squads entirely:
- Youssoufa Moukoko (8.10m, FC København, 16.8% owned) — 0 projected minutes, 0k. The most expensive dead weight in the game.
- Dario Osorio (6.98m, FC Midtjylland, 12.7% owned) — 0 projected minutes, 0k.
- Valdemar Byskov (5.42m, FC Midtjylland, 12.9% owned) — 0 projected minutes, 0k.
Beyond those, the worst high-ownership holds are Friday Etim (5.58m, FC Midtjylland), owned by 27.1% but projecting only 28k on 26 minutes, and Oskar Fenger (2.93m, Brøndby IF) at 16.9% ownership for 27k on 14 minutes. Villum Berthelsen (3.82m, Nordsjælland) is a 12.1%-owned 12k, and Birger Meling (4.33m, FC København) a 11.5%-owned 28k on 31 minutes.
The subtler sell is Juho Laehteenmaeki (3.33m, Nordsjælland). He is owned by 27.5% and plays 79 minutes, but Nordsjælland travel to FC Midtjylland with only a 13.9% clean-sheet chance, and he projects 30k. He is a fine player in a bad week.
Transfer plan for the next two Runder
The cleanest plan through Runde 8 is to load up on Brøndby's defence now and pivot to FC København afterwards. Brøndby's defenders project around 65k this round and around 31k next; FC København's move the other way, with Beijmo climbing from 69k to 88k and Ramaj from 71k to 84k as they host AC Horsens on a 43.7% clean-sheet projection. AGF's cheap midfielders are the exception — Bogere and Jørgensen hold their value across both rounds and do not need rotating.

FAQ
Who are the best buys in Super Manager Runde 7?
Mohamed Elyounoussi (8.36m, FC København) leads the round at 129k projected, followed by Kristian Arnstad (6.85m, AGF) at 115k and James Bogere (2.70m, AGF) at 113k. Bogere is the best value in the game at a PPM of 41.7, and Sebastian Jørgensen (3.66m, AGF) offers almost the same output at 107k with more secure minutes.
Who should I captain in Super Manager Runde 7?
Mohamed Elyounoussi (8.36m, FC København) at 129k, the highest projection of the round — the captain scores double in Super Manager. Kristian Arnstad (6.85m, AGF) at 115k is the differential armband at 10.4% ownership, and James Bogere (2.70m, AGF) at 113k is the cheapest route into the top three. There are no chips, so beyond the armband the round is decided by which eleven you own.
Best differentials for Super Manager Runde 7?
Sebastian Jørgensen (3.66m, AGF) is the standout at 1.5% ownership and 107k projected on 81 minutes. Ebube Duru (2.00m, Sønderjyske) is 0.3% owned with the best defensive PPM in the game at 27.6, and Filip Bundgaard (4.18m, Brøndby IF) projects 96k at just 5.9% ownership.
Should I sell Youssoufa Moukoko before Runde 7?
Yes. Moukoko projects zero minutes and zero points for Runde 7 and every remaining round, yet he is still owned by 16.8% of managers at 8.10m. He is the most expensive non-contributor in the game right now, and the same applies to Dario Osorio and Valdemar Byskov of FC Midtjylland.
Which cheap defender should I buy in Runde 7?
Ebube Duru (2.00m, Sønderjyske) at 55k is the best value, with a PPM of 27.6 and six starts from six games. If you want the higher ceiling, Jordi Vanlerberghe (3.48m, Brøndby IF) projects 65k against the league's weakest attack — but sell him again before Runde 8, when his projection falls to 31k.
