Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek
The big move in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves opt for zero City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!
The budget are needed to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.
Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of match-up you must attack - the leading team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.
This lineup of the week is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
Performance of The Previous Team Perform?
The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a monster 83 points total. Success!
FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)
This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.
A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.
Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.
Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.
And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times last season.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.
Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.
During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.
Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.
The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.
More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.
He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds United come into this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.
This is probably Ouattara last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.
Forwards
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)
It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two games.
However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.
He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
The Bench
- Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
