Selecting the Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week
The big call in the FPL team of the gameweek is to go with no City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!
The funds is required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.
Yes, City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you need to exploit - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.
This squad of the week is selected based on current FPL valuations to fit within a Ā£100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
Performance of The Previous Lineup Perform?
The captain didn't deliver but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive 83 points. Success!
FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, Ā£4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.
A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.
Ben White, Arsenal, Ā£5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.
White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, Ā£6.2m - Everton (home)
The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.
And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.
Diogo Dalot, United, Ā£4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two matches.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.
During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, Ā£10.2m - Wolves (home)
This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.
Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.
Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, Ā£7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.
With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his players.
Bruno Fernandes, United, Ā£9m - the Cherries (h)
Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.
Palmer, the Blues, Ā£10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.
You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.
He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.
Ouattara, Brentford, Ā£6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds United come into this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.
This is likely the winger's final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.
Strikers
Igor Thiago, Brentford, Ā£6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, Ā£8.4m - Brighton (h)
Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.
He performed 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 playing time at centre-forward.
Subs' Bench
- Dubravka, Burnley, Ā£4m - Fulham ({h|home
