Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek
One big move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves go with no City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!
Our funds is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host among the worst teams in English top-flight history.
It's true, City smashed in 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you just have to exploit - the best side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.
The lineup of the week is selected using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Team Do?
No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a monster 83 points total. Success!
FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.
Which would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.
Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)
Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the division.
And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two matches.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games.
During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.
Midfield Picks
Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.
No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be keen to attack.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.
With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)
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 several routes to FPL returns.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.
You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.
He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.
This is probably the winger's last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.
Strikers
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
Surely the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.
He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
The Bench
- Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
