🔗 Share this article Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek The key move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland! Our budget is required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets 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 trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded. And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you must target - the leading team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence. The squad of the week is selected based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip. How did The Previous Lineup Fare? No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster eighty-three points. Boom! FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16 Defensive Picks Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home) The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action. A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick. Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h) An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last six matches. White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home) The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential. Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division. And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign. Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home) You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches. Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures. During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too. Midfielders Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h) This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have. Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four 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 midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners. With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this as a chance to rotate his squad. Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home) Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset. Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points. Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home) This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being. You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in. He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees. Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h) Leeds United come into this game off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted. This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON. He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home. Forwards Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h) It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches. However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up 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 Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United. He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward. The Bench Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
