Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The key decision in the FPL team of the gameweek is to select no City players - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget are essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home among the worst teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you must exploit - the leading team in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the week is selected based on current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last six matches.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past 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, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

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

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

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
