Which Three Arsenal Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week
One key call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!
The funds is required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home among the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.
It's true, City scored in 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.
And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you need to target - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.
The team of the gameweek is selected using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
Performance of Last Week's Squad Perform?
No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.
A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.
Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.
White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)
Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.
And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two matches.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 games.
In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.
Midfield Picks
Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.
No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.
With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a chance to rest his squad.
Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.
Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.
You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.
He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.
This is probably the winger's final match before heading to the AFCON.
He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.
Attack
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.
He performed great at the beginning of the campaign 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.
The Bench
- Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
