Which Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek
The key move in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to go with no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!
The funds is required to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home among the worst teams in English top-flight history.
Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.
And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you need to target - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.
This lineup of the week is selected based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
How did Last Week's Squad Perform?
No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge 83 points. Success!
Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 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 going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but little clear chances.
Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last 6 matches.
White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the league.
And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two games.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.
During that spell he's taken four shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.
Midfield Picks
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.
Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.
The Gunners will be keen to attack.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.
With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)
Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.
You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.
He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds come into this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.
This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON.
He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.
Attack
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.
However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
Surely the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.
He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
Substitutes
- Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
