Cunha has had more shots (61) than any other midfielder in the league too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">And he feels like the least likely of the trio to get a rest if Benjamin Sesko is recalled to the starting line-up following his match-winning goal v <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/fulham\" class=\"ssrcss-ymbeas-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fulham<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Enzo Fernandez, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/chelsea\" class=\"ssrcss-ymbeas-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chelsea<\/a>, \u00a36.8m &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/wolverhampton-wanderers\" class=\"ssrcss-ymbeas-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wolves<\/a> (a)<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Another great fixture for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/chelsea\" class=\"ssrcss-ymbeas-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chelsea<\/a> and Fernandez just keeps producing, with returns in five of his past six games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Still has the highest expected goals (xG) among midfielders with 8.91 and is still just a cracking all-round pick, especially at the price.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Yasin Ayari, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/brighton-and-hove-albion\" class=\"ssrcss-ymbeas-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brighton<\/a>, \u00a34.8m &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/crystal-palace\" class=\"ssrcss-ymbeas-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crystal Palace<\/a> (h)<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The 22-year-old Swede has turned into an FPL bargain recently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Ayari has returned in his past four games, including two double-digit hauls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He&#8217;s also in and about getting defensive contribution points (defcon) in every game. In his past seven games, he&#8217;s earned defcon three times and twice come within one point of getting it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">All for \u00a34.8m &#8211; wildcarders pay attention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Elliot Anderson, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/nottingham-forest\" class=\"ssrcss-ymbeas-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nottingham Forest<\/a>, \u00a35.3m &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/teams\/leeds-united\" class=\"ssrcss-ymbeas-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Leeds<\/a> (a)<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Another budget gem FPL managers should be looking at more closely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Anderson has earned defcon points in his past eight games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He&#8217;s pretty much a lock for two extra points in every match so you are starting from a base of four points before he does anything in an attacking sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bruno Fernandes (captain), Manchester United, \u00a39.6m &#8211; Tottenham (h) He produced last week and gets the armband again&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":275284,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-275283","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-il","9":"tag-israel","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=275283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/275283\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/275284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=275283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=275283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=275283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
