Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One big move in this FPL lineup of the gameweek involves go with zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is essential to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home among the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you just have to exploit - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

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

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

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

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

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

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

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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