Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

One key call in this FPL team of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is essential to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they host one of the poorest sides in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you just have to target - the top team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive 83 points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times last season.

Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

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

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

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

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

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

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

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

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

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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