Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek
One big move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week is to opt for zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland!
Our funds is required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the worst sides in English top-flight history.
Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.
And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you need to target - the best side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.
The team of the gameweek is chosen based on current FPL prices to fit within a Ā£100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
Performance of The Previous Squad Fare?
The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge eighty-three points. Success!
FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, Ā£4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.
A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.
White, the Gunners, Ā£5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.
Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, Ā£6.2m - the Toffees (home)
Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the division.
And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times last season.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, Ā£4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.
Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three games.
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 night too.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, Ā£10.2m - Wolves (home)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.
Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.
Rice, the Gunners, Ā£7.1m - Wolves (home)
One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.
More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this as a chance to rotate his squad.
Fernandes, Manchester United, Ā£9m - the Cherries (home)
Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.
Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, Ā£10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an explosive 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 the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, Ā£6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds United come into this game following two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.
This is probably the winger's final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.
Forwards
Thiago, the Bees, Ā£6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, Ā£8.4m - Brighton (h)
It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.
He was great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
The Bench
- Dubravka, the Clarets, Ā£4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
