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

The big decision in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they host among the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you must target - the leading side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

The squad of the week is chosen based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.

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

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rotate his players.

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

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

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

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

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

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

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

This is likely Ouattara last match before departing for the AFCON.

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

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

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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