Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek
One major call in the FPL lineup of the week involves opt for no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!
Our funds is required to load up on Gunners players as they host one of the worst teams in Premier League history.
Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their last away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.
And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you just have to attack - the best side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.
This team of the gameweek is chosen based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?
The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster 83 points. Success!
Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.
A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.
Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches.
Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)
The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.
Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.
And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times last season.
Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two games.
More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.
In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.
Midfield Picks
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.
Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.
The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.
More attacking this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.
Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset 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 missed the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds come into this match off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.
This is likely the winger's last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.
Attack
Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)
It's been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.
Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.
He was well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
Subs' Bench
- Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
