Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The key call in this FPL team of the gameweek is to go with zero City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they host among the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of encounter you need to attack - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The lineup of the week is picked based on current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

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

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

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

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 game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

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

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
