Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One major decision in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves go with no City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host among the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you need to exploit - the best side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

This team of the week is picked based on current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

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

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

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

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see 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 midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt 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 rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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