Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week
One big call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves go with no City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!
Our funds is needed to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.
Yes, City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you must exploit - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.
The team of the gameweek is picked using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
Performance of Last Week's Team Fare?
The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Defensive Picks
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.
Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last six matches.
White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)
Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the division.
And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two games.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three games.
During that spell he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.
Midfield Picks
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.
No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be licking their lips.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.
More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rest his players.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)
Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.
You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.
He was absent for the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds enter this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.
This is probably the winger's final fixture before heading to the AFCON.
He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.
Strikers
Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.
However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.
He was well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
Substitutes
- Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
