Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One big move in the FPL squad of the week involves go with zero City players - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget are essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you just have to exploit - the top team 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 stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a massive eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and one in their last six matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.

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

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

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the top striker choice this week 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 Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season 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 centre-forward.
