Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek
The big decision in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves go with zero City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!
The funds is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they host among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.
It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you just have to attack - the best side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.
This squad of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
Performance of Last Week's Squad Do?
No captain return but high points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge 83 points. Success!
Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might 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 FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.
Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and one in their past six fixtures.
Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners 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 inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the league.
And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.
Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two games.
More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 games.
During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.
Midfielders
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)
This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.
No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.
The Gunners will be keen to attack.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.
More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rest his players.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)
The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.
You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.
He was absent for the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.
This is probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the AFCON.
He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.
Forwards
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two games.
However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.
He performed great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
Substitutes
- Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
