Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week
One big call in this FPL team of the week is to opt for no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!
Our budget are required to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.
It's true, City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you must exploit - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.
This lineup of the week is chosen based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
Performance of The Previous Team Fare?
No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a massive eighty-three points. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Keeper and Defence
Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.
A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.
White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past 6 fixtures.
White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)
Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.
The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the division.
And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.
Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two games.
Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.
During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)
This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.
Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be licking their lips.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.
With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.
Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff 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 sign him up.
He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.
This is likely the winger's final match before departing for the AFCON.
He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.
Forwards
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the top forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.
He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.
The Bench
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
