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

The major move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to go with zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are required to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

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

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you must attack - the best team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a massive 83 points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past six fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) 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 opportunity to rotate his players.

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

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

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
