Which Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One key call in this FPL team of the gameweek is to select no City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they host among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

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

The lineup of the week is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Fare?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a huge 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

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

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

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

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had four attempts, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £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 season, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

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

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

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

This is likely the winger's last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

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

The Bench

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