Which Three Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

The key call in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves select zero City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget is required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host one of the worst sides in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of match-up you need to exploit - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This squad of the week is selected based on current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You can't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just 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 a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
