Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek
One key decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves select zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!
The budget is essential to go all-in on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.
It's true, City smashed in 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you must exploit - the top side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.
The lineup of the week is selected using current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
How did Last Week's Team Perform?
The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a huge eighty-three points. Boom!
FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Defensive Picks
Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)
The first derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.
A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last 6 matches.
White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)
Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.
And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals last season.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You can't have great hopes for a Manchester 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 attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.
In those matches he's taken four attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.
Midfielders
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.
Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.
The Gunners will be licking their lips.
Rice, the Gunners, £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 term, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.
You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.
He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds United enter this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.
This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.
Forwards
Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)
It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.
He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
The Bench
- Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
