Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week
The key decision in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!
Our funds are needed to load up on Gunners players as they host among the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.
It's true, City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you must attack - the top side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.
This team of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?
No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster eighty-three points. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
The first derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.
Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.
Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and one in their past 6 matches.
Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)
The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.
And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals last season.
Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two matches.
Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.
During that spell he's had 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.
Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, 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 Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.
More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rotate his players.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)
Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.
Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive 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 sign him up.
He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.
Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.
This is probably Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON.
He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three home matches.
Strikers
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two matches.
However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
Surely the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.
He performed 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 challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.
Substitutes
- Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
