Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One key move in the FPL lineup of the week is to opt for no Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they host among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

It's true, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you need to attack - the leading team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Team Do?

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

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

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

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

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

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

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

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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