Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

One major decision in this FPL lineup of the week is to select no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget are required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City scored in 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you need to target - the best team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The lineup of the week is picked using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Do?

No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (19) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

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

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

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

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

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

He performed strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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