Which Three Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

One key call in the FPL lineup of the week involves select zero City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you must attack - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

The lineup of the gameweek is chosen based on current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Fare?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

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

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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