Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week
One big call in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!
The budget is needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they welcome among the worst teams in Premier League history.
Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.
And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you need to attack - the best team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.
This team of the gameweek is picked based on current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
Performance of The Previous Squad Perform?
The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster 83 points total. Success!
FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16
Defensive Picks
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.
Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.
Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past 6 matches.
Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.
The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.
And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.
Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two games.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.
In those matches he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.
Midfield Picks
Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)
This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.
Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had double that.
The Gunners will be keen to attack.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.
More attacking this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his players.
Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.
You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.
He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds enter this game following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.
This is likely Ouattara last match before heading to the AFCON.
He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.
Strikers
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)
It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two games.
However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice 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 & Hove Albion (h)
Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.
He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
Substitutes
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
