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

The big decision in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves select no City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in five times on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you just have to attack - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive 83 points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

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

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions 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 the striker FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
