Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One key move in this FPL lineup of the week involves go with zero City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is essential to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome among the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored in five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you just have to attack - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This lineup of the gameweek is picked using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a massive 83 points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals last season.

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

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

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rotate his players.

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

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

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the best forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
