Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek
One major move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek is to opt for zero City players - indeed, even Haaland!
The budget is needed to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.
It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their last away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must exploit - the leading side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.
The team of the gameweek is chosen using current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
Performance of Last Week's Team Perform?
The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a massive 83 points. Success!
Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.
A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and one in their last six matches.
Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)
The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.
The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division.
And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals last season.
Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two matches.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.
In those matches he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.
Midfield Picks
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.
No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)
One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.
More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning 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 one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.
He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds enter this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.
This is probably Ouattara last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.
Forwards
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.
He was well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
Substitutes
- Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
