Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

One big move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to opt for no Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

The funds are required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome among the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you need to target - the top side in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge 83 points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

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

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

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games.

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

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

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

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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