Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One major move in this FPL team of the week is to select no City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

Our budget is essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they host one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of match-up you must exploit - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is picked using current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

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

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

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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