Which Three Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week
One key call in the FPL lineup of the week is to go with zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!
Our funds are required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.
Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.
And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you must target - the top team in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.
This team of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
Performance of The Previous Squad Perform?
The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Defensive Picks
Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.
A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.
White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and one in their last six matches.
White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.
The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.
And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.
Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two games.
More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.
During that spell he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.
No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.
Arsenal will be licking their lips.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.
More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.
Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.
He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds United come into this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've scored.
This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the AFCON.
He has been superb for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.
Attack
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven home games. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.
He performed strongly 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 centre-forward.
Subs' Bench
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
