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

One major decision in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves go with zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our funds is needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you just have to attack - the leading team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is selected using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge 83 points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and one in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals last season.

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

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

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (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 fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers 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 ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds United enter this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven 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 end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
