Which Three Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

The major call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to opt for zero City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the worst sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you just have to attack - the best team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This squad of the week is selected based on current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

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

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

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

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
