Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week
The major move in the FPL squad of the week is to select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!
Our funds are essential to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome among the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.
Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you must exploit - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.
This squad of the week is chosen using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?
No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive eighty-three points. Success!
FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.
Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.
White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.
White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.
And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.
Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.
More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.
In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.
Midfield Picks
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.
Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.
The Gunners will be licking their lips.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.
With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the surest bet for game time 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 Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)
This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.
You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.
He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds United enter this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.
This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.
He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.
Forwards
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)
It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.
He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
The Bench
- Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
