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

One major decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves go with zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

Our funds is needed to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome among the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in five goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you just have to exploit - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

The lineup of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely 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 the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and one in their last 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 haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

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

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this game following two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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