Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One major call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to opt for zero City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget is needed to load up on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

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

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you just have to exploit - the top side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The lineup of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season.

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

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

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

No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) 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.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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