Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One big call in the FPL lineup of the week is to go with no Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our budget is needed to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must exploit - the best team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is selected using current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two games.

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

In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League 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 enter this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
