Which Three Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One key decision in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves go with zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are required to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you must exploit - the leading team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

No captain return but high points from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times last season.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

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

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

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

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

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)

Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
