Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek
One big decision in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!
The budget are needed to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home among the worst teams in Premier League history.
Yes, City smashed in five goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.
And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you need to target - the top side in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.
The lineup of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.
Performance of The Previous Lineup Perform?
No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge eighty-three points total. Success!
Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.
A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and one in their last 6 matches.
Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.
Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.
And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals last season.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two matches.
Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 games.
In those matches he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.
Midfield Picks
Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)
This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.
No stats required to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be licking their lips.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.
With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a chance to rotate his squad.
Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)
The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.
He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds come into this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.
This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.
Strikers
Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)
It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.
Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)
It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.
He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
Subs' Bench
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
