Which Three Gunners Players to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The major move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to opt for zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget are required to load up on Arsenal players as they host one of the poorest teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you just have to exploit - the top team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This lineup of the week is chosen using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

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

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

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

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

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

This is probably Ouattara last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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