Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week
The major call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves go with no City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!
The budget are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.
Yes, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.
And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you need to attack - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.
The lineup of the gameweek is picked based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
Performance of The Previous Squad Do?
The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a massive 83 points. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
The first derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.
Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.
Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past 6 matches.
White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)
Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any defender in the division.
And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times last season.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two matches.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.
In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.
Midfield Picks
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)
This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.
Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.
More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) 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 chance to rotate his squad.
Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.
You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.
He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.
Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds come into this match following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.
This is likely Ouattara final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.
Strikers
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker owners, with only three FPL points in two matches.
However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.
He was strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.
Substitutes
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
