Which Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week
One major call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!
Our funds are required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home among the worst teams in Premier League history.
Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.
And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of fixture you must exploit - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.
The lineup of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Team Perform?
The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive 83 points. Boom!
FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.
A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.
Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their past six matches.
Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.
The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.
And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.
More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.
During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday as well.
Midfield Picks
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.
Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and might have had double that.
The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.
With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) 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 squad.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.
You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.
He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds come into this match off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.
This is likely Ouattara final fixture before departing for the AFCON.
He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.
Forwards
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two games.
However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)
It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.
He was great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
The Bench
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
