Which Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week
One major decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves go with zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!
The funds are required to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the worst sides in English top-flight history.
It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.
And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you just have to attack - the leading team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.
This squad of the gameweek is selected using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Lineup Do?
The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Defensive Picks
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.
A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.
Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past six fixtures.
White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)
Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.
The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the league.
And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.
Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three games.
In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.
Midfield Picks
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.
No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be licking their lips.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.
More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) 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 chance to rest his squad.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.
Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.
You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.
He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds United come into this match following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.
This is probably the winger's final match before departing for the AFCON.
He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.
Forwards
Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)
It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)
It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.
He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
Substitutes
- Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
