Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week
One key move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to select no Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!
Our budget are essential to invest heavily on Gunners players as they host one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.
It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.
And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you need to attack - the leading team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.
The team of the gameweek is selected using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Team Fare?
No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge 83 points total. Success!
FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16
Keeper and Defence
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.
A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.
White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their past six matches.
White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.
The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.
And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.
Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.
More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games.
In those matches he's had 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.
Midfield Picks
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.
No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.
Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.
More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal player (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 rotate his players.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.
You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.
He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.
This is probably the winger's final match before departing for the AFCON.
He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.
Forwards
Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only three FPL points in two matches.
However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.
He performed great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
Subs' Bench
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
