Which Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

One major decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to select no City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

The budget is needed to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you just have to exploit - the top side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The squad of the gameweek is chosen based on current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

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

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

He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He's the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He performed well at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
