Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week
One key call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to opt for zero City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!
Our funds is needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome among the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.
Yes, City scored in five times on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you just have to target - the top side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.
The lineup of the week is picked based on current FPL prices to stay under a Ā£100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
How did Last Week's Lineup Do?
No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive 83 points. Success!
Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, Ā£4.7m - Newcastle (home)
The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.
A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.
White, Arsenal, Ā£5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road so far and one in their last six matches.
Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, Chelsea, Ā£6.2m - the Toffees (h)
Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.
And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, Ā£4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games.
More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.
During that spell he's had 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.
Midfield Picks
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, Ā£10.2m - Wolves (home)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.
Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be licking their lips.
Rice, Arsenal, Ā£7.1m - Wolves (h)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.
With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, Ā£9m - Bournemouth (home)
Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.
Palmer, Chelsea, Ā£10.3m - Everton (h)
This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.
You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.
He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.
Ouattara, Brentford, Ā£6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds United enter this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.
This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.
Attack
Thiago, the Bees, Ā£6.9m - Leeds (home)
It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two matches.
However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, Ā£8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
Surely the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.
He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
The Bench
- Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, Ā£4m - Fulham ({h|home
