Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One big decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they host among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

It's true, City smashed in five times on their most recent away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you must attack - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

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

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring 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 taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

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

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match following two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last match before departing for the AFCON.

He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
