Which Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One big move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week is to select zero City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are needed to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored in five times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you need to target - the best side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a massive 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two at right-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He was well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
