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

The big move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves go with zero City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

The funds are needed to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored a total of five times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must attack - the leading side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This team of the gameweek is chosen using current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals last season.

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

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

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

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

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

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

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

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

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

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

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He missed the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

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

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench
