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

The key decision in this FPL lineup of the week is to opt for zero City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you must exploit - the best side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of Last Week's Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive 83 points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.

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

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds come into this game following two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last 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 past three home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He is the top forward option for this round 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 & Hove Albion (h)

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
