Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

One key decision in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week is to opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are required to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you need to target - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The lineup of the week is chosen based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

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

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker owners, 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's the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed great at the beginning 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 centre-forward.

Substitutes
