Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

The key move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget is required to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in five times on their last away trip, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you need to exploit - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road this season and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

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

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

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

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

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

He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is 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.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

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

The Bench
