Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

One big decision in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week is to go with no Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they host one of the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of match-up you need to attack - the leading team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The team of the week is selected using current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Fare?

No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and one in their last six matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

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

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

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

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

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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