Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week

One major move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to go with zero City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget is needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host one of the worst teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City smashed in five times on their last away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you need to attack - the best side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This lineup of the week is selected using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

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

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

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - 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 advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (27) 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 chance to rest his squad.

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

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

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

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

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

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home 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's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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