Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

One key call in this FPL team of the week involves select no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds are required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the worst teams in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you need to attack - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The squad of the week is picked based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

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

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

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

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rest his squad.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

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

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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