Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek
The key move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to select zero City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!
Our funds are needed to load up on Arsenal players as they host one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.
It's true, City smashed in five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.
And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you just have to exploit - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.
This team of the week is picked using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
How did The Previous Lineup Fare?
The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Success!
Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)
This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.
A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.
White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last 6 matches.
Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)
Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.
The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.
And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.
Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two matches.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.
In those matches he's had 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.
Midfield Picks
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.
Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be licking their lips.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.
More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his squad.
Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)
The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.
He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds come into this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.
This is probably Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON.
He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.
Forwards
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)
It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three FPL points in two games.
However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. 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.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)
Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.
He was great 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 playing time at the number nine role.
Substitutes
- Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
