Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The key decision in the FPL lineup of the week is to select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is essential to load up on Gunners players as they welcome one of the poorest teams in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you need to exploit - the leading team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a monster 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

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

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past 6 matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

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

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

He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
