Which Three Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week
The big move in this FPL team of the week involves select no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!
The budget are needed to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.
Yes, City smashed a total of five times on their last away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.
And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you just have to exploit - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.
This lineup of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.
Performance of Last Week's Squad Do?
The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster 83 points total. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)
The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.
A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.
White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.
Ben White is a fantastic 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 leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)
The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any other defender in the league.
And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.
Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three games.
In those matches he's taken four attempts, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.
Midfielders
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.
No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.
The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)
One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.
With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rest his players.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)
The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.
You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.
He missed the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.
Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds United enter this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.
This is probably Ouattara final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.
Forwards
Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.
However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.
He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
Subs' Bench
- Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
