Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek
One key move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!
Our budget are required to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.
It's true, City smashed a total of five times on their last away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you just have to attack - the leading side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.
This squad of the week is chosen based on current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
Performance of The Previous Lineup Perform?
No captain return but high points from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Defensive Picks
Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.
Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.
White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and one in their past 6 matches.
White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)
The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.
The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.
And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times last season.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You shouldn't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two games.
More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.
In those matches he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.
Midfield Picks
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.
No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had double that.
Arsenal will be keen to attack.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.
More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his players.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.
Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.
You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.
He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds United come into this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.
This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON.
He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.
Forwards
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.
He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
Subs' Bench
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
