Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek
The major decision in this FPL team of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!
Our funds are needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host one of the most struggling sides in Premier League history.
It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you need to target - the best side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.
The squad of the gameweek is picked based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.
How did The Previous Team Fare?
No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points. Boom!
FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)
This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.
Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.
White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last six matches.
White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)
Everton are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the division.
And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.
Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.
During that spell he's taken four shots, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.
Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be licking their lips.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.
More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.
Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.
He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds United come into this match following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.
This is likely Ouattara last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.
Strikers
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three points in two matches.
However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.
He was well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
The Bench
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
