Which Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

One major move in this FPL lineup of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds are essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home among the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you must exploit - the leading team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This team of the gameweek is picked using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

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

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road this season and one in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

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

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £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 times for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with only 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
