Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The major decision in the FPL lineup of the week involves opt for zero City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget are required to load up on Gunners players as they host among the poorest teams in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you just have to target - the leading team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This team of the week is picked using current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive 83 points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

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

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

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

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

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game following two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two games.

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

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

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

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
