Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

One big move in the FPL team of the week is to opt for zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you need to target - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This squad of the gameweek is chosen using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
