Which Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

The major decision in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to select no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The budget are essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you just have to attack - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The lineup of the week is picked based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Squad Do?

No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive 83 points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games.

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

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

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

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

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

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

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

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

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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