Which Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One big decision in the FPL squad of the week is to opt for zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget are needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host among the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you must exploit - the leading side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The lineup of the gameweek is selected using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Strikers

Igor 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 matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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