Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek
One key move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to opt for no City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!
The budget is essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they host among the poorest sides in Premier League history.
Yes, City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.
And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you must exploit - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.
The squad of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
How did Last Week's Squad Perform?
The captain didn't deliver but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a massive eighty-three points. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)
This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.
Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their last 6 matches.
Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)
The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.
And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two matches.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.
In those matches he's had four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.
Midfielders
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.
No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had double that.
Arsenal will be keen to attack.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)
One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.
More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the most reliable for game time 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 replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
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 fantasy player he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.
He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds United come into this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've netted.
This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.
He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.
Forwards
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)
It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with just 3 points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.
He was well at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
The Bench
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
