Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week
One big move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves opt for no City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!
The funds is required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host among the worst teams in Premier League history.
It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.
And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you just have to attack - the top side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.
The squad of the week is chosen using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?
The captain didn't deliver but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.
Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.
Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road so far and one in their past six matches.
Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)
The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.
The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the division.
And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times last season.
Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.
Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.
In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.
Midfield Picks
Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)
This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.
No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be keen to attack.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.
More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rotate his players.
Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.
Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to FPL returns.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)
This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.
You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.
He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.
This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the AFCON.
He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.
Forwards
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace 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 Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
Substitutes
- Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
