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

The major call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves select no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are required to load up on Gunners players as they host one of the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you must attack - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the week is picked using current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past six matches.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

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

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to FPL returns.

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

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

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

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

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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