Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The major decision in this FPL lineup of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds are required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you just have to attack - the leading team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners 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 - the Toffees (home)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.

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

In those matches he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

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

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

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

He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
