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

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

The budget are needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you need to attack - the best side in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The lineup of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge 83 points. Success!

FPL Squad 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 loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

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

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

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

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

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

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

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

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

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

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter this game following two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

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

Forwards

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was strongly 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

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