Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One big decision in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to select no City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our budget are required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you must target - the top team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

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

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.

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

In those matches he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

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

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match following two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

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

He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

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

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
