Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One major move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is required to load up on Gunners assets as they host among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you must target - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and one in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two matches.

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

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

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

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes
