Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

One major move in the FPL team of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The budget are needed to load up on Gunners players as they host among the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of fixture you need to target - the best team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

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

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any 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 as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

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

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

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

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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