Which Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The major move in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget is needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the worst teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City scored in five times on their last away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you must exploit - the top side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

The squad of the gameweek is selected using current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

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

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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