Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week
One big move in this FPL lineup of the week is to select no Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!
The budget are essential to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.
Yes, City smashed in five times on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you need to target - the best side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.
The team of the week is chosen based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Team Perform?
The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster 83 points. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.
Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.
Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal 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)
The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.
And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You shouldn't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two matches.
More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.
During that spell he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.
Midfield Picks
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)
This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.
No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be keen to attack.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.
More attacking this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.
Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)
This week's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.
You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.
He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds come into this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.
This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.
He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.
Forwards
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the top striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.
He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign 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.
The Bench
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
