A new BBC report has named their latest Fantasy Premier League team of the week, with reasons explaining the selection of two Newcastle United players.

BBC Sport journalist Thomas Woods making his choice of Fantasy Premier League team of the week, including an explanation on the two Newcastle United players he has selected, who look set to line up against Wolves.

BBC Sport Fantasy Premier League team of the week (Their fantasy football price/value detailed, plus who they are playing against) ahead of the weekend:

Bernd Leno, Fulham keeper, £5m – Leeds (h)

Daniel Munoz, Crystal Palace, £5.5m – Sunderland (h)

Riccardo Calafiori, Arsenal, £5.7m – Nottingham Forest (h)

Jurrien Timber, Arsenal, £5.6m – Nottingham Forest (h)

Midfielder

Florian Wirtz, Liverpool, £8.4m – Burnley (a)

Mohamed Salah (captain), Liverpool, £14.5m – Burnley (a)

Jack Grealish, Everton, £6.7m – Aston Villa (h)

Anthony Elanga, Newcastle, £7m – Wolves (h)

You’ve got to target Wolves this week if you can, with Gary O’Neil’s team having conceded eight goals so far.

They have allowed 34% of their chances down the right flank, which is why Elanga makes this team.

While Newcastle’s wingers could rotate flanks, Elanga played mostly on the right against Liverpool and was dangerous. He could haul against Wolves.

Strikers

Yoane Wissa, Newcastle, £7.5m – Wolves (h)

A home game to make his debut against the worst defence in the league so far? It feels right!

Jean-Philippe Mateta, Crystal Palace, £7.5m – Sunderland (h)

Rodrigo Muniz, Fulham, £5.5m – Leeds (h)

In their September World Cup group qualifiers, both Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa looking in great shape and real goal threats. Elanga scoring once for Sweden, whilst Wissa scored in both DR Congo matches this past week.
