Which Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week
One major call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves select no City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!
The budget are essential to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.
Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you just have to attack - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.
The team of the gameweek is selected based on current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
Performance of Last Week's Team Do?
The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge eighty-three points. Boom!
FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16
Defensive Picks
Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)
This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.
A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.
White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home so far and one in their last six fixtures.
Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)
Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.
The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.
And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two games.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games.
In those matches he's had four shots, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.
Midfielders
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.
Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.
Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.
More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)
Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.
Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.
You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.
He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've netted.
This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.
He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.
Strikers
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)
It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with only 3 points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.
He performed great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
The Bench
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
