Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

One key move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek is to select no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are essential to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome among the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

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

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you just have to target - the best team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

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

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (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. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a chance to rotate his players.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

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

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

Leeds United enter this game following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

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

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Forwards

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

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

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

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

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

Substitutes

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