Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week
The major decision in this FPL lineup of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!
The funds is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.
It's true, City scored a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.
And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you need to target - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.
The lineup of the gameweek is chosen based on current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
How did Last Week's Team Fare?
No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster 83 points. Boom!
FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but little clear chances.
Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past six matches.
Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)
Everton are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.
And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You shouldn't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.
In those matches he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.
Midfielders
Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)
This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.
Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be keen to attack.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.
More attacking this season, 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 could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)
Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.
He was absent for the Blues'European 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 (h)
Leeds come into this match off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.
This is probably the winger's final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.
Forwards
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)
It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three points in two games.
However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)
Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.
He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
