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

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

Our budget are required to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome one of the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City scored in 5 times on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you need to attack - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This squad of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times last season.

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

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

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

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

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

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)

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

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

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

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

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace 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 arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
