Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

The major move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week is to opt for no City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are required to load up on Gunners players as they host among the poorest sides in Premier League history.

It's true, City smashed in five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of match-up you just have to exploit - the leading side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The squad of the week is chosen using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

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

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past six fixtures.

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

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)

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

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
