Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

One major call in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget are needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their last away fixture, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of fixture you must attack - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is chosen based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive 83 points. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

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 generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

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

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Forwards

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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