Gameweek 38 Best Free Hit
Having produced the joint second most clean sheets in the league thus far, Arsenal remain a great defence to invest in. Because of this, owning at least one of their defensive assets could be rewarding. With that in mind, David Raya (£5.5m) takes his place between the sticks.
Backing him up in the unlikely event Raya doesn’t feature is Bournemouth man Kepa Arrizabalaga (£4.6m).
In defence, Arsenal’ match, although arguably pointless, is against the already-relegated Southampton. This could be a fantastic opportunity to make it back-to-back clean sheets, so doubling up with centre-back Jakub Kiwior (£4.8m) may see huge success.
Also in defence is Manchester City’ Josko Gvardiol (£6.5m) and Bournemouth’ Milos Kerkez (£5.2m). Both have very good fixtures from a defensive perspective, and both have also impressed offensively this season. This gives them multiple routes to points heading into the final round.
On the bench and completing the backline is Aston Villa’ Ezri Konsa (£4.4m) and Newcastle’ Fabian Schar (£5.5m).
Arsenal come up against the worst defence in the league next up , Southampton. The Saints rank bottom for most defensive metrics, which suggests midfielder and penalty taker Bukayo Saka (£10.3m) could have massive potential.
Saka is joined by Justin Kluivert (£5.9m). Some may be put off by his recent returns, but the Bournemouth penalty taker faces a woeful Leicester defence up next, which could re-ignite his form. Another player facing an already-relegated side is Jarrod Bowen (£7.8m). Bowen is the most in-form player in the league – having returned in every one of his previous five matches.
Our fourth starting midfielder is of course Brentford penalty taker Bryan Mbeumo (£8.3m). Mbeumo meets with a Wolves side how have shipped more goals than every other team bar the relegated sides thus far. On the bench and providing coverage if any other attacker fails to feature is Aston Villa’ Morgan Rogers (£5.8m) who has managed back-to-back returns in his previous two games.
There are plenty of brilliant strikers to pick from this week. If Newcastle’ Alexander Isak (£9.5m) has recovered from his minor injury, then he could be a shoo-in. Similar could be said for Aston Villa’ Ollie Watkins (£9.1m). Both strikers play for and spearhead the attack of two teams hoping to secure Champions League football on the final day.
Brentford have shown no sign of letting up offensively, which makes Yoane Wissa (£6.9m) a great pick. Wissa has been in exceptional form as of late – bagging four goals and two assists in his previous six games.
