Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The major move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek is to select zero City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget are essential to load up on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you need to target - the leading side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This team of the gameweek is picked based on current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

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

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

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

You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.

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

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

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

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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