Which Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek
The big call in this FPL team of the week involves select no City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!
Our funds is required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home among the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.
It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.
And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of encounter you need to target - the leading team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.
This team of the gameweek is picked using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Squad Do?
No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Success!
Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)
This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.
A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last 6 matches.
White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)
Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.
The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.
And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals last season.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two matches.
Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games.
During that spell he's had four shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.
Midfield Picks
Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.
Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be keen to attack.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.
With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his players.
Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)
The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.
You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.
He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds enter this game following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.
This is likely the winger's final match before departing for the AFCON.
He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.
Attack
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.
He performed great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
Substitutes
- Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
