🔗 Share this article Which Three Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week One key move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to select no City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland! The budget are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory. Yes, City scored in five times on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC. And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you must exploit - the best side in the division against one lacking of form, quality and confidence. The squad of the week is chosen using current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit. How did Last Week's Team Do? No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge 83 points. Boom! Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16 Goalkeeper & Defenders Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances. Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout. White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home) An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures. Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7. Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h) Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential. Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defender in the league. And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign. Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h) You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games. Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games. In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well. Midfield Picks Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home) This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential. No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many. Arsenal will be licking their lips. Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home) One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners. With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rotate his squad. Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h) Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder. Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points. Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home) This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being. You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in. He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees. Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h) Leeds enter this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored. This is probably Ouattara last match before heading to the AFCON. He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home. Forwards Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h) It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games. However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least. Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home) It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds. 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 competed with him for playing time at centre-forward. The Bench Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
