Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One major move in the FPL squad of the week involves go with zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of match-up you just have to exploit - the best side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

This squad of the week is chosen using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Team Do?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive 83 points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (19) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More attacking 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 minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
