🔗 Share this article Which Three Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week One major call in this FPL lineup of the gameweek involves opt for no Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland! Our budget are required to load up on Gunners players as they face at home among the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory. Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC. And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you just have to target - the leading team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence. This squad of the week is picked using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip. How did Last Week's Lineup Perform? The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge 83 points. Success! Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16 Goalkeeper & Defenders Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances. Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option. White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home) An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and one in their last six fixtures. Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h) The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside. The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the division. And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign. Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h) You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games. Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures. During that spell he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too. Midfield Picks Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home) This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential. Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that. Arsenal will be rubbing their hands. Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home) One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so reliable for the Gunners. With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name. He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his squad. Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h) The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset. Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns. Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h) This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being. You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in. He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton. Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h) Leeds United enter this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted. This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations. He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home. Strikers Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h) It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches. However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least. Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home) It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United. He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.
