Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One key decision in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to opt for zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is needed to load up on Gunners assets as they face at home among the worst teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you need to attack - the top team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

This lineup of the week is picked using current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two matches.

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

In those matches he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week'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 FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes
