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

One big move in this FPL lineup of the gameweek is to go with no City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds is required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of five times on their last away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you need to exploit - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

This lineup of the week is picked based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and one in their last six matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games.

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

During that spell he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player 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 missed the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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