Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The big move in this FPL squad of the week involves select no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget are required to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you need to attack - the leading team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge 83 points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and one in their last six matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

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

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

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

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds come into this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
