Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One big move in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves opt for no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds are essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you just have to attack - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

This team of the week is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games.

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

In those matches he's had 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

More advanced this term, he's created 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 might view this as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon 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 team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

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

He was great 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 playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

• Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
