Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek
The major move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves select zero City assets - and yes, even Haaland!
The funds is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.
It's true, Manchester City smashed in five times on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.
And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you must exploit - the best side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.
The lineup of the gameweek is chosen using current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Lineup Do?
No captain return but big points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster 83 points. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Defensive Picks
Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.
Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.
Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.
And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.
Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two games.
More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.
During that spell he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)
This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.
No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.
More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.
Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.
He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds come into this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.
This is likely the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.
Attack
Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two games.
However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.
He performed great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
The Bench
- Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
