Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week
One key move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to go with zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!
The budget are required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome among the poorest teams in English top-flight history.
Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you just have to target - the best team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.
This lineup of the week is selected based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
How did Last Week's Squad Perform?
The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive 83 points total. Success!
FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.
Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.
White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past 6 matches.
White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)
Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.
The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the division.
And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.
Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two matches.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.
During that spell he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.
Midfield Picks
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.
No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had double that.
The Gunners will be keen to attack.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.
More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)
The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.
You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.
He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.
This is likely the winger's final match before departing for the AFCON.
He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.
Strikers
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.
He performed great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
Subs' Bench
- Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
