Which Top 3 Gunners Assets to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One major move in this FPL team of the week involves opt for no City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five times on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you need to attack - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a massive 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created 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 fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

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

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

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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