Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek
The major move in this FPL lineup of the week involves select zero City players - and yes, even Haaland!
The funds are required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.
It's true, City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you must exploit - the leading team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.
This lineup of the gameweek is chosen based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.
How did Last Week's Team Do?
No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Success!
FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.
Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.
Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past 6 matches.
White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
Everton are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.
And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.
Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two matches.
More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.
In those matches he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a 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 fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.
No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be keen to attack.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.
More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any 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 fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.
You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.
He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds United enter this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.
This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.
Forwards
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the top forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.
He performed great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
The Bench
