Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week
One major decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves select zero City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!
Our funds are needed to load up on Arsenal players as they face at home among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.
Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.
And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must exploit - the top side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.
This team of the gameweek is selected using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Lineup Perform?
The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a huge eighty-three points. Boom!
FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Defensive Picks
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.
Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.
White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.
White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)
Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.
And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.
Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three games.
During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.
Midfield
Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)
This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.
Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)
One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.
With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rest his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.
Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.
He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.
Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds enter this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.
This is probably Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.
He has been superb for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.
Forwards
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)
It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the best forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.
He was strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
