Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One big move in this FPL team of the gameweek involves opt for no City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget are required to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you just have to exploit - the top side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The lineup of the week is chosen using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge 83 points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal on the road this season and one in their past six fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds come into this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Forwards

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
