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

One key move in the FPL team of the week involves opt for no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds is needed to load up on Gunners players as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you need to exploit - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The squad of the week is picked based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road so far and one in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

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

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two matches.

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

During that spell he's taken four shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

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

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this as a chance to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

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

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

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

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

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

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
