Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week
The big move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves select no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!
Our funds is essential to go all-in on Arsenal players as they host one of the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.
Yes, City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you just have to target - the top side in the division against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.
This squad 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 high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a huge eighty-three points total. Success!
FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Defensive Picks
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.
A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and one in their past 6 fixtures.
Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)
The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.
The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.
And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.
Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.
More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three games.
During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.
Midfield
Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.
Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had double that.
Arsenal will be licking their lips.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.
More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners teammate (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 rotate his players.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player 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 ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.
Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds United come into this match following two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.
This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.
Forwards
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two matches.
However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.
He was well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
The Bench
- Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
