Which Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek
One key call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to select zero City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!
The funds is needed to invest heavily on Gunners players as they host among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.
It's true, City smashed in 5 goals on their last away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of fixture you must attack - the leading team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.
The team of the week is picked based on current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
Performance of Last Week's Team Do?
The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge 83 points total. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.
Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and one in their last six matches.
Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.
The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.
And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You shouldn't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.
Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.
During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.
Midfield Picks
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)
This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.
Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.
More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners player (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 chance to rest his players.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)
The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.
Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.
You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.
He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds enter this match following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.
This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.
Strikers
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)
It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.
However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.
He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
Subs' Bench
- Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
