Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek
The major decision in this FPL squad of the week is to opt for zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!
Our funds are essential to load up on Arsenal players as they host one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.
It's true, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of fixture you just have to attack - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.
This team of the gameweek is selected using current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Lineup Fare?
No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive 83 points. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)
This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.
A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.
White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)
Everton are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.
And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two games.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.
During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.
Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.
More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his players.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.
You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.
He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.
This is likely the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three home matches.
Attack
Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.
He performed great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
The Bench
- Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
