Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One major move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds are essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host one of the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you just have to target - the best team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

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

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

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

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

Leeds enter this game following two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes
