Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One key decision in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The budget are needed to load up on Arsenal players as they host among the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City smashed a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you need to attack - the leading team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This lineup of the gameweek is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

No captain return but big points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads 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, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

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

Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (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 past two matches.

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

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

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

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

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

Leeds come into this match off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 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 is the best forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed great 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 minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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