Which Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One big decision in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves go with zero City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

The funds are essential to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you need to target - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This team of the week is chosen using current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster 83 points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

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

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

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

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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