Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek
One big call in this FPL team of the gameweek involves opt for zero City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!
The funds are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they host one of the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.
It's true, City smashed a total of five goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you need to attack - the leading team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.
The squad of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
Performance of The Previous Squad Fare?
No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive 83 points total. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)
This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.
A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.
White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.
White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.
And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You can't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two games.
Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.
During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.
Midfield Picks
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)
This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.
Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.
Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.
More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.
Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)
Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.
Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.
He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.
Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds United come into this game following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.
This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.
Attack
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)
It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.
He was strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
Subs' Bench
- Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
