Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

The key call in this FPL team of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

Our funds are required to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they host one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you must exploit - the top side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way 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 - the Toffees (h)

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times last season.

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

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 several ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

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

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes
