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

One key move in the FPL squad of the gameweek involves opt for no City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are essential to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in 5 times on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you need to exploit - the leading side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the week is selected based on current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

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 games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals 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 past three games.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

• Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
