Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Assets to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek
The big call in this FPL lineup of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!
Our funds is needed to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.
Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.
And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you must attack - the best side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.
This team of the week is selected based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
Performance of Last Week's Team Perform?
No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Success!
FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)
The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.
A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.
White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last six matches.
White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)
Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.
And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.
Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester 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 getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.
During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.
Midfielders
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.
Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.
The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.
More advanced this term, he's created 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 the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)
Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.
You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.
He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.
Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.
This is probably Ouattara last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.
Strikers
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.
He performed great at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.
Substitutes
- Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
