Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek
One key move in this FPL team of the gameweek is to select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!
The funds are required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in Premier League history.
Yes, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you just have to exploit - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.
This squad of the week is chosen using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?
No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Success!
FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.
A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and one in their past six matches.
White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.
The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division.
And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.
Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two matches.
More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games.
In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.
No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had double that.
Arsenal will be licking their lips.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.
More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.
Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.
You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.
He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.
Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds United enter this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.
This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the AFCON.
He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.
Attack
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 points in two matches.
However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.
He was well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
Substitutes
