Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

One major move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds is needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in five times on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of fixture you just have to exploit - the best team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This squad of the week is selected based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been superb for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

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

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

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed great at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench
