Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week
One key move in this FPL lineup of the week involves select zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!
The budget are required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they host one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.
It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of match-up you must exploit - the leading side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.
This lineup of the week is chosen based on current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
Performance of Last Week's Team Perform?
No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster eighty-three points. Success!
Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Keeper and Defence
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.
A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and one in their past six fixtures.
White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)
Everton are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.
And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.
Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.
More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three games.
In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.
Midfield
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.
No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.
Arsenal will be keen to attack.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.
More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (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 bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)
This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.
You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.
He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds United enter this game following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.
This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.
Forwards
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the top striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.
He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
The Bench
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
