Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The key decision in this FPL lineup of the week involves go with zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the worst teams in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of match-up you must exploit - the best team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is selected using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a monster 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (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 rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

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

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was well at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
