Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek
The key move in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves select zero City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!
Our budget are required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host among the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.
Yes, City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you must exploit - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.
The team of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
How did The Previous Team Perform?
No captain return but high points from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive eighty-three points. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but little clear chances.
Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and one in their past 6 matches.
White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.
And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals last season.
Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.
Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.
In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.
Midfielders
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)
This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.
No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.
With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his players.
Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.
Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.
You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.
He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.
This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON.
He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three home matches.
Attack
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
Surely the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.
He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
Subs' Bench
- Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
