"This is a great week to play your Free Hit chip, with three of the league's worst defences - Leeds, Burnley and Wolves - on the road against in-form attacks. Manchester City host struggling Leeds, who have lost their past three games and conceded 15 on the road this season, so Erling Haaland is straight back in as captain. It's not a case of if he will score, but how many he will bag."
"Everton's back four and keeper were so impressive against Manchester United on Monday night, and they have a good chance to continue that form against a Newcastle side that have been fairly toothless on the road. Eddie Howe's team have three goals, no wins and only three points from six games away from home, while Everton have let in only five at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Pickford is getting a clean sheet every three games this season. This is a good chance for another one."
"City's game at home to Leeds is the one to target this week, and O'Reilly is the defender with the most upside. There is always a worry that Pep roulette takes hold and Rayan Ait-Nouri gets a start at left-back, but O'Reilly has started all but one Premier League game since week four. In the past six gameweeks, he is the third-highest-scoring defender behind Daniel Munoz and Gabriel, with 37 points."
Three of the league's worst defenses — Leeds, Burnley and Wolves — are on the road against in-form attacks, creating a strong Free Hit opportunity. Manchester City host struggling Leeds, who have lost three straight and conceded 15 on the road this season, making Erling Haaland a top captain option. The team of the week is selected to fit a 100m Free Hit budget. Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is recommended for a potential clean sheet against a toothless Newcastle away side. Nico O'Reilly is highlighted for attacking upside at Manchester City. Previous picks returned only 38 points, with Salah captaincy disappointing.
