Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One big decision in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The budget is required to go all-in on Gunners players as they host one of the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you must exploit - the best team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The lineup of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rest his players.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the best forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

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

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.
