Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek
The key call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to opt for zero City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!
Our budget is essential to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.
It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you need to target - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.
This lineup of the week is chosen based on current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.
How did The Previous Lineup Do?
No captain return but big points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a huge eighty-three points. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.
A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past six matches.
White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)
Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.
And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.
Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 games.
During that spell he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.
Midfielders
Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.
No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.
More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this as a chance to rest his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.
Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.
He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.
Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.
This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.
He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three home matches.
Attack
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
Surely the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.
He performed great at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
Substitutes
- Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
