Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One key call in the FPL lineup of the week is to select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds is essential to load up on Gunners players as they welcome one of the worst sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City scored in five goals on their last away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must attack - the best team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and one in their past six fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals last season.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's taken four shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

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

He was well at the beginning of the season 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.

The Bench
