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

The big move in the FPL lineup of the week is to go with no Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the worst sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you need to attack - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the week is picked based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and one in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

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

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rest his players.

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

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

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best 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.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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