Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One major call in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to opt for zero City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home one of the worst sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of match-up you must target - the best side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

The squad of the gameweek is selected using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a monster 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

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

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

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

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top 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 could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) 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 rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Attack

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

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

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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