Which Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week
One big move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to opt for zero City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!
Our funds is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host among the worst teams in English top-flight history.
It's true, City smashed in five times on their last away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.
And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you must exploit - the top side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.
This squad of the gameweek is chosen based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Team Do?
The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a huge eighty-three points total. Success!
FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.
Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.
Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and one in their past 6 matches.
Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)
The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.
And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You can't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two games.
More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.
In those matches he's had four shots, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.
Midfielders
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.
Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.
The Gunners will be licking their lips.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.
More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several ways to FPL returns.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.
You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.
He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds United enter this match following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've scored.
This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the AFCON.
He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.
Strikers
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 points in two games.
However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)
Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.
He performed great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.
The Bench
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
