Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week
The major call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves go with zero City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!
Our funds are required to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they welcome among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.
Yes, Manchester City scored in five times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.
And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you just have to exploit - the leading side in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.
This lineup of the week is chosen using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
Performance of The Previous Lineup Fare?
No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.
A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past six matches.
Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)
The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.
And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times last season.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals 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 last 3 games.
During that spell he's taken four shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.
Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be licking their lips.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.
With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this as a chance to rest his squad.
Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.
Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)
This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.
You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.
He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds United enter this match following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.
This is probably Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON.
He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.
Attack
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)
It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.
Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.
He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.
Subs' Bench
- Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
