Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The key move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget is needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the worst teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored in 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must exploit - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

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

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

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

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

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

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

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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