Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek
The key call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves go with zero City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!
The budget are essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.
Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you need to exploit - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.
This team of the gameweek is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.
How did The Previous Lineup Do?
The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points. Success!
FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.
Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.
White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.
Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)
Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.
The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.
And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals last season.
Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two matches.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.
During that spell he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.
Midfield
Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.
No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be keen to attack.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.
More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.
Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.
You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.
He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.
Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds 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 every one they've scored.
This is probably the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.
He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.
Forwards
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two games.
However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window 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 performance at Leeds United.
He performed strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
Subs' Bench
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
