Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

The key call in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to opt for zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our funds are required to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome among the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City scored in five times on their last away trip, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you need to attack - the leading team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the week is selected based on current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and one in their last 6 matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's had four attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

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

This is probably Ouattara final match 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

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

• Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
