Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

One big move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek is to select no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they host among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you just have to target - the top side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

This lineup of the week is selected based on current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past six fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rotate his players.

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

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

This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He was great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.
