Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week
One key move in this FPL squad of the week is to opt for no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!
The funds are essential to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home among the poorest teams in Premier League history.
Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their last away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you just have to attack - the leading side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.
This team of the week is picked based on current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
Performance of The Previous Team Perform?
No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!
FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.
Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and one in their last six fixtures.
White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)
The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the division.
And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past 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 taken 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.
No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had double that.
Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly 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 show for it.
He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)
Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)
This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.
You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.
He missed the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds enter this game following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.
This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the AFCON.
He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.
Attack
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)
It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.
He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
The Bench
- Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
