Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek
The major move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves opt for zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!
The budget are required to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.
Yes, City scored in five times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.
And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of fixture you just have to exploit - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.
This squad of the gameweek is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
Performance of The Previous Lineup Fare?
No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge 83 points total. Boom!
FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.
A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and one in their last six fixtures.
Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)
The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.
The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.
And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two matches.
More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.
In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.
Midfielders
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.
No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.
The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.
More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this as a chance to rest his squad.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)
Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.
Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.
You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.
He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.
This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three home matches.
Forwards
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.
Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
Surely the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.
He performed great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
The Bench
- Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
