Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

The big move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves opt for zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host among the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you must attack - the top team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

This team of the gameweek is chosen based on current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

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

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

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

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

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