Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek
One big move in this FPL team of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!
The funds is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the worst sides in Premier League history.
It's true, City smashed in five times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.
And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you must attack - the best team in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.
This lineup of the week is chosen using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
How did Last Week's Squad Perform?
The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Boom!
FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Keeper and Defence
Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.
A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.
Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and one in their past six fixtures.
White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)
Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.
And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times last season.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.
Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.
During that spell he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.
Midfield Picks
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.
No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be licking their lips.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.
More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) 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 rest his players.
Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)
The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.
You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.
He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.
This is probably Ouattara final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.
Attack
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)
It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.
He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
Subs' Bench
- Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
