Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek
The major decision in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to select no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!
The funds is required to go all-in on Gunners players as they host among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.
It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.
And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of fixture you need to exploit - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.
The squad of the gameweek is chosen based on current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
How did The Previous Squad Do?
No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge 83 points. Boom!
FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.
Which would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.
White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)
Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any defender in the league.
And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times last season.
Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You shouldn't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.
Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.
During that spell he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.
Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be licking their lips.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.
With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Match-up proof, always a shout 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 full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.
He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)
Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.
This is likely Ouattara last match before heading to the AFCON.
He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.
Forwards
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)
It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two matches.
However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.
He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
Substitutes
