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

One major call in this FPL team of the week is to select zero City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds is needed to go all-in on Gunners players as they face at home among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you just have to target - the top side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the week is chosen 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 Fare?

No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge 83 points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

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

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, 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 had four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

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

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

Leeds enter this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, 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 Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes
