Which Three Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week
The big move in the FPL team of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!
The funds is required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they host among the worst teams in Premier League history.
It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you just have to exploit - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.
This team of the week is picked using current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
How did The Previous Squad Do?
The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge 83 points total. Success!
FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.
Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past six matches.
Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)
The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.
The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division.
And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.
Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.
In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.
Midfield
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.
No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.
More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)
The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.
Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.
You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.
He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.
This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the AFCON.
He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.
Forwards
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.
However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the top striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)
It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.
He performed great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
Subs' Bench
