Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week
The big move in this FPL lineup of the week involves opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!
Our funds are required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home among the worst teams in English top-flight history.
It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.
And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of fixture you need to target - the leading side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.
This lineup of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Team Fare?
No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge 83 points. Success!
FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16
Defensive Picks
Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.
Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.
White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)
The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.
And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times last season.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.
More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games.
During that spell he's had four shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.
Midfield Picks
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.
No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be licking their lips.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.
More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rest his players.
Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.
Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.
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 ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.
This is likely the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON.
He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.
Strikers
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two games.
However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.
He performed 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 centre-forward.
Substitutes
- Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
