Which Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week
The major decision in this FPL team of the week is to go with zero City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!
Our budget are required to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome one of the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.
Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you must exploit - the leading team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.
This lineup of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?
The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge 83 points. Boom!
FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)
This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.
Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.
White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past 6 matches.
Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)
Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.
And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.
In those matches he's had four shots, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.
Midfielders
Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)
This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.
No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.
Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.
More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rest his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.
You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.
He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds come into this game following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.
This is probably the winger's final match before departing for the AFCON.
He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.
Forwards
Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)
It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two matches.
However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.
He was strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
The Bench
- Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
