Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week
One big decision in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves go with zero Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!
Our budget are essential to load up on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.
Yes, City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest 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 encounter you must attack - the best side in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.
The team of the week is picked using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Team Do?
No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster eighty-three points. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.
Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.
White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)
Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.
And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.
Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 games.
In those matches he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.
Midfield
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.
Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.
More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rest his players.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)
The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.
Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.
He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.
This is probably the winger's final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.
Strikers
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.
However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)
Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.
He performed great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
Subs' Bench
- Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
