Which Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

One major move in this FPL lineup of the week is to opt for no City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you must attack - the top side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster 83 points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two games.

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

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

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

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been superb for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with just 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

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

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
