Which Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week
One major call in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to select no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!
The budget are required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they host one of the poorest sides in Premier League history.
It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you just have to target - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.
The lineup of the gameweek is selected using current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.
How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?
No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a massive 83 points. Boom!
FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.
Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.
White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.
Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)
Everton are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.
The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.
And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times last season.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.
More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.
During that spell he's had four shots, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.
Midfield Picks
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.
Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be keen to attack.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.
With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rest his players.
Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.
You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.
He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds enter this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've scored.
This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.
He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.
Strikers
Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)
It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two matches.
However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He's the best forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.
He was well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
Substitutes
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
