Which Three Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek
One big call in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to go with no Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!
The funds is essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.
Yes, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you need to exploit - the leading side in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.
This team of the week is picked using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.
How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?
The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive 83 points total. Boom!
FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.
A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.
Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road this season and one in their past 6 matches.
White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)
Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.
Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division.
And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two matches.
Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three games.
During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.
Midfielders
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)
This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.
Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be licking their lips.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.
With more license to attack this term, 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 game time as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his players.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.
Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.
You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.
He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.
This is probably Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON.
He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.
Forwards
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.
He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
Subs' Bench
