Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week
One major move in the FPL squad of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!
The budget are needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they host one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.
Yes, City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must attack - the best team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.
This lineup of the gameweek is picked based on current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Squad Do?
No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
The first derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.
Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last six fixtures.
Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)
The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the division.
And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals last season.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring 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 fixtures.
In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.
Midfield Picks
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)
This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.
No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.
The Gunners will be keen to attack.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.
More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.
Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.
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 are aware 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 was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds 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 netted.
This is likely the winger's final match before departing for the AFCON.
He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.
Strikers
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.
However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.
He was well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
The Bench
- Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
