Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The big move in the FPL lineup of the week is to go with no City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome among the poorest sides in Premier League history.

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

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you must exploit - the top side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This team of the gameweek is picked using current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster 83 points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, had a 14-point haul 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.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

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

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (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 opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench
