Which Three Gunners Assets to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek
The major move in the FPL team of the gameweek involves go with zero City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!
Our budget are essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.
Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.
And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you need to attack - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.
The lineup of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Team Perform?
The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a huge eighty-three points. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.
Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.
White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.
White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two at right-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)
The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.
And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times last season.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two matches.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.
In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.
No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.
Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.
With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.
You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.
He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds come into this game following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.
This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.
Strikers
Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)
It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.
He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
The Bench
- Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
