Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek
The big move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to opt for no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!
Our funds are needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the worst sides in Premier League history.
It's true, Manchester City scored in five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.
And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you need to target - the top team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.
This team of the gameweek is selected using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.
How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?
The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.
A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their past six matches.
White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)
The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.
Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.
And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games.
During that spell he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.
Midfielders
Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.
No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be licking their lips.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.
More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his squad.
Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.
You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.
He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds come into this game following two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.
This is probably Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.
He has been superb for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.
Strikers
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)
It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)
Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.
He performed strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
The Bench
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
