Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week
The big move in this FPL squad of the week involves opt for zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!
Our budget is essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.
Yes, City scored in 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you must attack - the best side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.
This lineup of the gameweek is chosen based on current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.
How did The Previous Lineup Do?
No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success!
Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Defensive Picks
Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.
A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last 6 fixtures.
White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)
Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.
The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.
And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)
You shouldn't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games.
During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.
Midfielders
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.
Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had double that.
The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.
With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rest his players.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.
Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.
You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.
He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home)
Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.
This is probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the AFCON.
He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.
Attack
Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)
It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two games.
However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.
He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
Subs' Bench
- Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
