Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week
The key move in the FPL lineup of the week is to go with zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!
Our funds are essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.
It's true, City scored a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.
And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of fixture you need to exploit - the best team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.
This squad of the week is selected using current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
Performance of Last Week's Lineup Fare?
No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive 83 points total. Success!
Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.
Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.
Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.
Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.
And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.
Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You can't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.
Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.
During that spell he's taken four shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.
Midfield Picks
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.
No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be licking their lips.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.
More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rotate his players.
Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)
Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.
Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.
You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.
He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds United come into this match following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.
This is likely Ouattara final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last three home matches.
Forwards
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He is 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.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.
He performed great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
Substitutes
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
