🔗 Share this article Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week The key call in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to select zero City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland! The funds is needed to load up on Arsenal players as they host among the worst teams in Premier League recent memory. It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC. And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you just have to attack - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief. The squad of the week is selected using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit. How did The Previous Lineup Fare? No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Success! Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16 Keeper and Defence Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home) This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action. Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option. White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home) An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last 6 fixtures. Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h) Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside. The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league. And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals last season. Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h) You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games. More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three games. During that spell he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well. Midfield Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home) This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have. No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many. Arsenal will be keen to attack. Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h) One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal. More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (27) 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 rest his squad. Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home) Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder. Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points. Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h) This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being. You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in. He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees. Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h) Leeds United enter this game off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted. This is probably the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON. He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three home matches. Forwards Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h) It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two games. However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least. Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home) Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds. He was 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 minutes at the number nine role.
