Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek
The major decision in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!
The budget are required to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.
Yes, City smashed in 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you must target - the best team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.
The lineup of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
Performance of The Previous Team Do?
No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive 83 points total. Boom!
FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.
Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.
White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)
The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.
And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals last season.
Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You shouldn't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two games.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 games.
In those matches he's had four attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.
Midfielders
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.
Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be licking their lips.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.
More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)
This week's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.
You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.
He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds come into this match following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.
This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.
He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last three home matches.
Attack
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)
It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.
He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
Subs' Bench
- Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
