Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One big decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves opt for no City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they host one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you need to attack - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

This squad of the week is picked based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a huge 83 points. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, 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 fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

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

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

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

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

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

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

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

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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