Back captain Cunha to haunt Wolves – FPL team of the week

To watch at home against Wolves at Manchester United, Liverpool take on Leeds, and Chelsea take on Bournemouth’s sluggish away defense.

You just need to figure out which players will be rotated as the game progresses quickly and consistently.

Good luck!

As if you were playing a Free Hit, the team of the week is chosen based on the current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget.

With only three returns, the experience returns to normal after three fantastic weeks.

Virgil van Dijk’s chelten sheet wipeouts against Wolves and the triple Arsenal defense failed to help!

The Brazilian has now started three games in a row, and Matz Sels is returning from injury for a good price of £4 million if he keeps his spot.

Everton (h) vs. Nikola Milenkovic, Nottingham Forest, £5.1 million

Double Forest defense is a worthwhile gamble given Everton’s slump in scoring.

Milenkovic and Murillo, who have almost identical defensive contribution points (defcon) per 90 minutes and cost £0.1 million, barely anything in comparison.

The Serb is given the nod because he shoots more shots and has a better overall scoring record than last year, which makes him eligible.

Manchester United‘s Patrick Dorgu, £4.1 million-woolves (h)

Dorgu, who played out of position (OOP) on the right wing, was a player that stood out if you watched United defeat Newcastle on Boxing Day.

Dorgu could be a gift for FPL managers because they adore OOP players and are keen on paying $4.1 million.

If you have a spare transfer, why not make a punt on him? United are currently down to their bare bones, so don’t expect him to be a long-term asset.

A clean sheet and an attacking return haul are both a possibility given Wolves’ scoring record and the attacking positions Dorgu occupies.

Fulham v. Marc Guehi, Crystal Palace, £5. 2 million

With six attacking returns this year, Guehi has made six starts, and Palace’s defense is always worth supporting away from home against rivals like Fulham, where Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze have been replaced as Africa Cup of Nations.

Lewis Hall, Newcastle, £5.2m – Burnley (a)

Hall has started six of Newcastle’s previous seven games and has established himself as a key attacking outlet since before getting injured last season.

He has eight shots, five changes, and two significant chances in that span.

He could have scored in their final game against Manchester United by taking numerous risky positions and passing the eye test.

Due to the nature of the game, Cunha wasted too much time defending in the second half, which made him reach for the two-pointer last time at home to Newcastle.

However, the Brazilian had three shots that threatened, and he’s had a league-high 28 shots in each of his five games. With just two goals, he has also struggled with his 2.78 xG.

Add to that eight chances, and Cunha has become a valuable FPL asset.

Cunha gets the captain’s armband because Wolves are getting better but still a tough team to target.

Florian Wirtz, Liverpool, £8.1m – Leeds (h)

For their two home games against Wolves and Leeds, Liverpool should be on the lookout for a team.

Wolves did not perform as we anticipated, but they do now get a second chance against a Leeds side with a nearly identical away record and more goals conceded.

Therefore, it is essentially the same again: Wirtz was impressed and scored his first goal.

Manchester City‘s £6. 7 million acquisition of Rayan Cherki at Sunderland (a)

Cherki has seven assists in his past nine games, which is the combined total in the Premier League this season.

Sunderland have only conceded eight goals away from home, but Leeds created a record-breaking number of chances on Sunday with a 2.03 xG, which makes them want to fancy themselves.

Cherki is much less expensive and potentially just as productive for the rest of the season, despite Phil Foden’s (9 million) still being a viable option.

Chelsea‘s Alejandro Garnacho, £6.4 million (h), is

Garnacho is the name of the game that every team needs.

The Argentine has started for Chelsea’s last four and has been their most dangerous player since.

In that time, he has taken 12 shots, nine of them from the box, three of his best chances, and a 1.03 xG.

Garnacho or Pedro Neto are much less expensive attacking options than Cole Palmer, who looks a little off the pace since his injury return. Rotation is always a possibility.

In his previous seven games, Haaland has recorded four blanks and three totals of 13 points or higher.

He has a difficult time predicting his future, having played shrewd home games against Sunderland and Leeds.

I’m putting the captain’s armband elsewhere because he faces Sunderland away and Arsenal found it difficult at the Stadium of Light.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £9.1m – Leeds (h)

Ekitike is worth supporting for a second straight home game, much like Wirtz.

Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah, £5.5 million – Bournemouth (h)

Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin for £57 million against Liverpool (a)

Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, £5.7 million (h)
