Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One key call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves select no City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is required to load up on Gunners players as they face at home one of the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of encounter you must target - the leading side in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is picked using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Team Do?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

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

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

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

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

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

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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 easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's final match before departing for the AFCON.

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

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes
