Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One big decision in this FPL team of the week is to opt for zero City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is essential to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of match-up you just have to target - the best team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is selected using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Fare?

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

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last 6 matches.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

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

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

Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

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

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench
