Which Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One key call in this FPL team of the gameweek is to opt for zero City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds are needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host among the poorest sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five times on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you just have to target - the leading team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The lineup of the week is chosen based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive 83 points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

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

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

Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.

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

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

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

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

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

This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
