Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal<\/a>, \u00a310.2m – Wolves (h)<\/p>\n

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenal<\/a>‘s best attacking player essential.<\/p>\n

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United<\/a> had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.<\/p>\n

Arsenal<\/a> will be licking their lips.<\/p>\n

Declan Rice, Arsenal<\/a>, \u00a37.1m – Wolves (h)<\/p>\n

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More attacking this season, he’s created more chances than any Arsenal<\/a> player (27) and has five assists to show for it.<\/p>\n

He’s also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rotate his squad.<\/p>\n

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United<\/a>, \u00a39m – Bournemouth (h)<\/p>\n

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.<\/p>\n

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points (defcon) and with mulitiple routes to points.<\/p>\n

Cole Palmer, Chelsea<\/a>, \u00a310.3m – Everton<\/a> (h)<\/p>\n

This week’s punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.<\/p>\n

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.<\/p>\n

He missed Chelsea<\/a>‘s Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes<\/a> so he should be fresh for Everton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dango Ouattara, Brentford<\/a>, \u00a36m – Leeds (h)<\/p>\n

Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea<\/a> and Liverpool<\/a>, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they’ve scored.<\/p>\n

This is likely Ouattara’s final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n

He’s been superb for Brentford<\/a> this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, \u00a310.2m – Wolves (h) This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":178828,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[111,139,69,213],"class_list":{"0":"post-178827","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-new-zealand","9":"tag-newzealand","10":"tag-nz","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178827"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178827\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
