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

One major move in this FPL lineup of the week is to go with no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget is required to load up on Arsenal assets as they host among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you need to target - the best team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a huge 83 points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's had four shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

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

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this game following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

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

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the top forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

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

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes
