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

One major decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves select zero City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget are needed to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you need to attack - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This team of the week is chosen using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

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

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

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

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

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

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Attack

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

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

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench
