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

One key decision in this FPL team of the week is to select no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The funds is essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they host one of the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

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

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you need to attack - the best team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

This team of the week is selected using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Do?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times last season.

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

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

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

During that spell he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last match before heading to the AFCON.

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

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the top forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
