Which Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek
One key call in this FPL lineup of the week is to select no City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!
The funds are needed to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.
It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you must attack - the best team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.
The squad of the gameweek is selected using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Lineup Fare?
The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Defensive Picks
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.
Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.
White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)
The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.
And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals last season.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two matches.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.
In those matches he's had four shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday as well.
Midfielders
Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)
This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.
No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.
With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this as a chance to rest his players.
Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)
The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.
You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.
He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds come into this game following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.
This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the AFCON.
He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.
Forwards
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.
He performed great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
Substitutes
- Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
