Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek
The key call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to select no City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!
Our budget is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the worst teams in English top-flight history.
Yes, City scored in five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.
And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you just have to attack - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.
The team of the week is picked based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Team Do?
No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive 83 points. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.
A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.
Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 matches.
White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)
The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.
The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.
And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals last season.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two matches.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.
During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)
This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.
No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be keen to attack.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.
More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)
Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL 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 full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.
You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.
He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds come into this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.
This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.
Forwards
Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two games.
However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.
He was great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
The Bench
- Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
