Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One key call in this FPL lineup of the week is to go with zero City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget is required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they welcome among the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of five times on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must exploit - the leading side in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

The squad of the week is picked using current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

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

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (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 chance to rest his players.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

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

This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been superb for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench
