Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

The big decision in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves select zero City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds is required to load up on Gunners players as they host among the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you need to exploit - the best team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is chosen based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

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

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

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

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds United enter this match following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

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

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

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

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

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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