Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week
The major move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!
The funds is required to load up on Gunners players as they host one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.
Yes, Manchester City scored in five goals on their last away trip, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.
And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of fixture you must target - the best side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.
The lineup of the week is selected using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Lineup Perform?
No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive 83 points total. Success!
Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.
A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.
Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past 6 fixtures.
White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.
And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals last season.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.
In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.
Midfielders
Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)
This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.
No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be keen to attack.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.
More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)
The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.
You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.
He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.
Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds come into this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.
This is probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.
Strikers
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.
He performed great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
The Bench
- Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
