Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek
The key move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves opt for zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!
Our budget is required to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.
It's true, City scored a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.
And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you must target - the top side in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.
This team of the week is chosen based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.
How did The Previous Squad Fare?
No captain return but high points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!
Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.
Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past 6 matches.
White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)
The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the division.
And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.
Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)
You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.
More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.
During that spell he's had 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.
Midfield Picks
Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)
This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.
Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.
Arsenal will be keen to attack.
Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)
One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.
With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.
He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.
Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points.
Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)
This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.
You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.
He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.
Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)
Leeds United enter this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.
This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.
Attack
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)
It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 points in two matches.
However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.
Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)
Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.
He was great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
Subs' Bench
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
