Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The key call in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves go with zero City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is needed to invest heavily on Gunners players as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you just have to target - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the week is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a massive eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and one in their last six matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He missed the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

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

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

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

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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