"With just two weeks left of the FPL season, its a time when taking a punt on a player can really pay off. And this week there's one game that jumps off the page - champions-elect Arsenal, at home, chasing goals against Burnley's leaky defence. But which Arsenal attacking assets can you trust? The team of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a 100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit."
"Caoimhin Kelleher, Brentford, keeper, 4.8m - Crystal Palace (h) Since week 29, Kelleher has returned a clean sheet every other week. Arsenal aside, there aren't many strong clean sheet picks this week but this Crystal Palace side is unlikely to be at full strength for the trip to the Gtech Community Stadium. They will have their minds firmly on their Europa Conference League final and manager Oliver Glasner is likely to continue his rotation and protection of star players."
"Gabriel, Arsenal, 7.3m - Burnley (h) If you're not picking the best defender in the game at home to a relegated team then something has gone wrong! Gabriel got 11 points last week including defensive contribution points (defcon) making it just once in the past eight weeks that he has failed to return - and that was away at Manchester City."
"Myers Lewis-Skelly, Arsenal, 5m - Burnley (h) Double Arsenal defence again only this time I'm going with Lewis-Skelly, who might end up playing in midfield for the Gunners. Burnley at home feels like a stonewall cleansheet for Arsenal and Lewis-Skelly could earn more defcon and pose a bigger attacking threat from a central midfield slot."
With two weeks remaining in the FPL season, a Free Hit-style team is built using current player prices within a 100m budget. Arsenal are highlighted for a home match against Burnley, with emphasis on players who can reliably score against a leaky defence. Caoimhin Kelleher is suggested as a goalkeeper option because he has produced clean sheets every other week since week 29, and Crystal Palace may rotate due to Europa Conference League final preparations. Gabriel is recommended as a top defender at home, citing consistent returns and defensive contributions. Myles Lewis-Skelly is included as a potential double Arsenal defensive pick who could play in midfield and generate additional attacking points. James Tarkowski is also listed as a defender option for a home match.
