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

One major decision in the FPL lineup of the week involves go with zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host one of the worst sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City scored in five goals on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you need to target - the leading side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

This lineup of the week is selected using current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Do?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two 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, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

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

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two matches.

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

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

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

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

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

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

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

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