Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek
One major move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to select no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!
The budget is essential to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.
It's true, Manchester City smashed in five times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you need to target - the best side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.
This squad of the gameweek is selected using current FPL prices to fit within a Ā£100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Squad Perform?
No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge eighty-three points total. Success!
FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16
Defensive Picks
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, Ā£4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.
A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.
Ben White, the Gunners, Ā£5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.
White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, Ā£6.2m - Everton (home)
Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.
And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.
Dalot, Manchester United, Ā£4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You shouldn't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two games.
Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.
During that spell he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.
Midfield Picks
Saka (C), the Gunners, Ā£10.2m - Wolves (home)
This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.
Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had double that.
Arsenal will be keen to attack.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, Ā£7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.
With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rest his players.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, Ā£9m - the Cherries (home)
Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, Ā£10.3m - Everton (home)
This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury 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 one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.
He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.
Ouattara, the Bees, Ā£6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds enter this game following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.
This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.
He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.
Strikers
Igor Thiago, Brentford, Ā£6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.
However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the top forward option 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, Ā£8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.
He performed well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
Subs' Bench
- Dubravka, Burnley, Ā£4m - Fulham ({h|home
