Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek
One big move in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves opt for no City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!
The budget are essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the poorest sides in Premier League history.
Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.
And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you need to attack - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.
This team of the week is selected based on current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Lineup Fare?
The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge eighty-three points. Success!
FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16
Defensive Picks
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.
A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.
Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any defender in the league.
And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You can't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two games.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.
In those matches he's had four attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.
Midfield
Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.
No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be keen to attack.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.
With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities 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 fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.
He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds enter this game following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've netted.
This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.
Strikers
Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)
It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.
However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.
He was well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
Subs' Bench
- Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
