Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek
The major decision in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves select no City players - indeed, even Haaland!
Our funds are needed to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.
It's true, City scored a total of five goals on their last away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of encounter you need to target - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.
The team of the week is chosen using current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.
Performance of The Previous Lineup Fare?
The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Defensive Picks
Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.
A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last six matches.
White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)
Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the league.
And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You can't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two games.
More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.
In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.
Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.
More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)
The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.
Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.
You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.
He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.
This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the AFCON.
He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.
Forwards
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)
It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.
However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.
He performed 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 minutes at centre-forward.
Substitutes
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
