🔗 Share this article Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week One major call in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland! Our funds are needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host among the poorest sides in English top-flight 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-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC. And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of match-up you just have to target - the top team in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence. This squad of the gameweek is selected using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip. How did The Previous Squad Do? No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge eighty-three points total. Success! Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16 Keeper and Defence Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action. Which would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option. White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h) An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures. White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7. Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h) The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential. Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league. And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign. Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h) You can't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches. Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games. During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too. Midfielders Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h) This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential. Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many. Arsenal will be rubbing their hands. Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h) One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal. More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rest his squad. Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home) The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder. Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points. Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home) This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be. You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up. He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, 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 game following two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored. This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations. He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three home matches. Strikers Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h) It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games. Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least. Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h) It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United. He performed well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward. Substitutes Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
