🔗 Share this article Which Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week One key move in the FPL lineup of the week involves opt for no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland! The budget is needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they host one of the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory. It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded. And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you need to target - the leading team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief. This lineup of the week is picked based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit. How did The Previous Lineup Perform? No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a massive eighty-three points. Success! FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16 Keeper and Defence Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action. A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout. White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h) An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures. White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home) The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside. Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the division. And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season. Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h) You can't have great 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, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games. During that spell he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too. Midfielders Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home) This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential. Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that. The Gunners will be licking their lips. Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home) Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal. More attacking this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name. He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players. Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h) Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset. Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns. Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home) This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be. You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing 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 ought to be well-rested for the Toffees. Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home) Leeds United enter this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted. This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations. He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches. Attack Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home) It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two games. Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals 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 (h) Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds. He was great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward. Subs' Bench Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
