Which Three Arsenal Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week
One key call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!
Our funds is essential to load up on Gunners players as they face at home one of the poorest teams in Premier League history.
It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you just have to exploit - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.
This squad of the gameweek is selected using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
Performance of The Previous Lineup Do?
No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster 83 points total. Boom!
FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Keeper and Defence
Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
The first derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.
Which would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.
White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches.
White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.
And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You can't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.
In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)
This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.
Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.
With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this as a chance to rest his squad.
Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)
The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.
Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.
Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.
You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.
He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds United come into this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.
This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.
Attack
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)
It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with only 3 points in two games.
However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
Surely the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.
He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
Substitutes
- Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
