Which Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One major decision in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves go with no City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The funds is essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome among the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of encounter you just have to target - the leading side in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the gameweek is chosen based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last six matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.

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

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

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

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

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON.

He has been outstanding 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 (home)

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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