Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

The big move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, City smashed in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you just have to target - the leading side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

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

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (27) 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 (h)

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.

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

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

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

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

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
