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

The major decision in this FPL team of the gameweek involves opt for no City players - and yes, even Haaland!

The budget is needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you just have to exploit - the leading team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a massive 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

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

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

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

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
