Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek
One key move in the FPL team of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!
Our funds is essential to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the worst sides in Premier League history.
Yes, Manchester City scored in five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.
And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you just have to target - the top side in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.
The lineup of the week is picked using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
How did Last Week's Squad Fare?
No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge 83 points total. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16
Defensive Picks
Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.
A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past six matches.
White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players 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 unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.
The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.
And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two matches.
Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.
During that spell he's had 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.
Midfield Picks
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.
No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)
One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.
More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.
Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)
The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.
Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.
You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.
He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds United enter this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea 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 outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.
Strikers
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)
It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)
It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.
He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
The Bench
- Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
