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

The major call in this FPL lineup of the week is to go with zero City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are needed to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host among the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of fixture you just have to exploit - the leading team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is chosen using current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but little clear chances.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past six matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three games.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

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

This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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