Which Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

The key decision in the FPL team of the week is to select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are required to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you just have to exploit - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The lineup of the week is selected using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.

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

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

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

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three games.

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

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

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

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly 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 club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
