Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One big decision in this FPL lineup of the week is to opt for zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are essential to load up on Arsenal players as they host among the worst sides in Premier League history.

It's true, City smashed in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you need to attack - the leading side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three games.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

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

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
