Which Three Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek
One key decision in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves opt for zero City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!
Our funds is required to load up on Arsenal players as they host one of the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.
It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you must exploit - the top team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.
The team of the gameweek is chosen using current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
How did Last Week's Lineup Do?
The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.
Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their last six matches.
White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.
And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals last season.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You can't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.
In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.
Midfielders
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)
This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.
No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be licking their lips.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.
With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his players.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)
The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.
He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've netted.
This is probably the winger's final fixture before heading to the AFCON.
He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.
Strikers
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)
It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)
Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.
He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
Substitutes
- Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
