Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

The key decision in the FPL lineup of the gameweek is to go with zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget are essential to load up on Gunners assets as they host among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you need to target - the best side in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their last six matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two matches.

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

During that spell he's taken four attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this game following two strong 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 final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.
