🔗 Share this article Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek The major call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to select no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland! The budget are essential to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory. Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their most recent 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 expected goals conceded. And the Gunners 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. The lineup of the week is picked based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit. Performance of The Previous Lineup Fare? The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a huge eighty-three points. Success! Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16 Goalkeeper & Defenders Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home) The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action. A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option. White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home) An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and one in their last 6 matches. Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h) Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential. The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league. And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times last season. Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h) You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games. Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures. During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too. Midfield Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h) This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential. Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many. Arsenal will be rubbing their hands. Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home) One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners. With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name. He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad. Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h) The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset. Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points. Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h) This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being. You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up. He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees. Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h) Leeds United come into this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted. This is likely Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations. He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches. Forwards Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home) It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two games. However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least. Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home) It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United. He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role. Substitutes Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
