Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One big move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves opt for no City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget is needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you need to target - the top team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Squad Do?

No captain return but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster 83 points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

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

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.

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

In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

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

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) 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, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

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

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

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

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed great at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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