Which Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek
The key move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to select no City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!
The funds are essential to load up on Gunners assets as they host among the most struggling sides in Premier League history.
Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.
And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you must target - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.
This 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 Squad Fare?
The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster 83 points. Success!
FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.
Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past 6 matches.
White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford 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.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)
The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.
And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.
During that spell he's taken four attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.
Midfielders
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.
Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.
More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)
Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.
He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds come into this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road 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 excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.
Strikers
Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)
It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.
He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
Subs' Bench
- Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
