Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The major move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves opt for zero City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget are needed to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in five goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of match-up you just have to target - the best side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

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

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

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

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just 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 advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four 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 FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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