🔗 Share this article Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek The big move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to opt for no City assets - and yes, even Haaland! The budget is needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the poorest sides in Premier League history. It's true, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC. And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you must exploit - the best team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence. The lineup of the week is chosen using current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit. Performance of The Previous Team Perform? No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge eighty-three points. Boom! FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16 Goalkeeper & Defenders Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances. A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick. Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home) An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past six matches. White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7. Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h) Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside. Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division. And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign. Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home) You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games. More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games. In those matches he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well. Midfield Picks Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h) This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have. No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many. Arsenal will be licking their lips. Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h) Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal. More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rotate his players. Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h) The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder. Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns. Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home) This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be. You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in. He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton. Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home) Leeds enter this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted. This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON. He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches. Attack Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home) It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two matches. However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least. Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home) Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds. He was great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward. Substitutes Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
