Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

The key move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves select zero City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds are required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the worst teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you just have to target - the leading team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the week is chosen based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

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

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

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

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

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

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

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

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

This is likely Ouattara last match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

• Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
