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

One major move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek is to opt for zero City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are needed to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you need to attack - the leading team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

The squad of the week is picked based on current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Fare?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

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

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) 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 - the Cherries (home)

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

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

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

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

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

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

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

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
