Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The big move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves select no City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host one of the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you must attack - the top side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

The lineup of the week is chosen using current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Team Fare?

No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge 83 points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two matches.

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

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

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

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
