Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The big decision in this FPL lineup of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds is required to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in 5 times on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you must attack - the best team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is selected using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Perform?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and one in their past six fixtures.

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

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

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

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

More attacking 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 surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

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

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

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

The Bench

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