Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week
The big move in this FPL team of the week involves select zero City assets - and yes, even Haaland!
The funds are required to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome among the most struggling sides in Premier League history.
It's true, Manchester City smashed in five times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.
And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you need to target - the leading team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.
The squad of the week is selected based on current FPL valuations to stay under a Ā£100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
Performance of The Previous Team Fare?
No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!
FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16
Keeper and Defence
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, Ā£4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.
A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.
Ben White, the Gunners, Ā£5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their last 6 matches.
White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, Ā£6.2m - the Toffees (home)
The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.
And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.
Dalot, Manchester United, Ā£4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You can't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two games.
Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three games.
During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, Ā£10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.
No stats required to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be licking their lips.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, Ā£7.1m - Wolves (home)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.
More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, Ā£9m - Bournemouth (h)
The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, Ā£10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.
He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.
Ouattara, the Bees, Ā£6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds United enter this game following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've scored.
This is probably Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.
He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.
Forwards
Igor Thiago, Brentford, Ā£6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, Ā£8.4m - Brighton (home)
Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.
He was strongly 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 playing time at centre-forward.
Substitutes
- Martin Dubravka, Burnley, Ā£4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
