Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek
One key move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek is to opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!
Our funds is required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home one of the worst teams in English top-flight history.
Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their last away trip, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.
And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you just have to target - the best team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.
This lineup of the gameweek is chosen using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.
Performance of The Previous Team Fare?
The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster 83 points. Boom!
FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16
Keeper and Defence
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.
A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.
Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.
Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)
Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.
The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the league.
And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.
Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You can't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.
During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.
Midfielders
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.
No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.
The Gunners will be licking their lips.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.
More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this as a chance to rest his players.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.
Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.
You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.
He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds United enter this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.
This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the AFCON.
He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.
Strikers
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)
It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is 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.
Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.
He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
The Bench
- Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
