Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One big call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves opt for zero City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are required to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you must attack - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the gameweek is chosen based on current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Do?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three games.

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

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

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

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly 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 centre-forward.

Substitutes

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
