Selecting the Three Gunners Assets to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week
The key call in the FPL team of the week involves opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!
The funds are essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.
It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they meet 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 sort of match-up you must attack - the top team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.
The team of the gameweek is selected using current FPL valuations to fit within a Ā£100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Squad Perform?
The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, Ā£4.7m - Newcastle United (h)
The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.
A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.
White, the Gunners, Ā£5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last 6 matches.
Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, Ā£6.2m - Everton (home)
The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.
The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league.
And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, Ā£4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two matches.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.
During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.
Midfielders
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, Ā£10.2m - Wolves (home)
This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.
No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.
The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, Ā£7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.
More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal 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 rotate his players.
Fernandes, Manchester United, Ā£9m - Bournemouth (home)
Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.
Palmer, Chelsea, Ā£10.3m - Everton (h)
This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.
You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.
He was absent for the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.
Dango Ouattara, the Bees, Ā£6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds enter this game following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.
This is likely Ouattara final fixture before departing for the AFCON.
He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.
Strikers
Thiago, Brentford, Ā£6.9m - Leeds (home)
It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.
However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the best forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.
Ekitike, the Reds, Ā£8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.
He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
Subs' Bench
