Which Three Arsenal Players to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek
The key call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!
The budget are required to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome among the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.
It's true, City smashed a total of five goals on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.
And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you need to exploit - the top team in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.
The squad of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
Performance of Last Week's Team Perform?
No captain return but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Success!
FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.
Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road so far and one in their last six matches.
White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.
The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.
And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times last season.
Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.
During that spell he's had four attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.
No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.
The Gunners will be licking their lips.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.
More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.
Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)
Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.
He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds United enter this game following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.
This is likely Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.
Attack
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with only 3 points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.
Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.
He was great at the beginning of the season 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.
Substitutes
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
