Which Three Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek
The key call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!
The funds are required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host among the worst sides in Premier League history.
It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.
And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you need to attack - the best side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.
The lineup of the gameweek is picked based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Team Do?
No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Success!
FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Keeper and Defence
Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.
Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and one in their past 6 matches.
White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)
The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.
And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times last season.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three games.
During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.
Midfield
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)
This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.
Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be licking their lips.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.
With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
Fernandes might 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 routes to points.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)
This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy 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 rushing to sign him up.
He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.
This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.
He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.
Strikers
Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 points in two games.
Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.
He performed great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
The Bench
- Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
