Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week
One major move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves opt for no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!
Our budget is essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they face at home one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.
It's true, City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.
And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you just have to attack - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.
This squad of the gameweek is selected using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.
How did Last Week's Squad Perform?
No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster eighty-three points. Success!
Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)
This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.
A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and one in their last six matches.
Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.
And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You shouldn't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.
In those matches he's taken four attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.
Midfielders
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.
No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.
Arsenal will be licking their lips.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.
More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rotate his players.
Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.
You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.
He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.
Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds come into this game following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.
This is likely the winger's last match before heading to the AFCON.
He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.
Strikers
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two matches.
However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.
He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.
The Bench
- Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
