Which Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week
One big decision in the FPL squad of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!
Our budget are essential to go all-in on Arsenal players as they host among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.
Yes, City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of fixture you just have to attack - the top team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.
The team of the week is chosen based on current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
How did Last Week's Team Fare?
No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge 83 points total. Success!
Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.
Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.
Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past six matches.
Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)
Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.
The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.
And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You shouldn'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 last two matches.
More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.
In those matches he's had four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.
Midfield Picks
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.
Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.
Arsenal will be keen to attack.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.
More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his players.
Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.
You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.
He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds enter this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've netted.
This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.
Strikers
Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It's been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two games.
However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
Surely the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.
He was well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.
Substitutes
- Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
