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

The major decision in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to opt for zero City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds are needed to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you just have to attack - the leading side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the gameweek is picked using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and one in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any defender in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 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 soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Forwards

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

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

He performed strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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