Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The major decision in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves go with no City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored in 5 times on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you just have to attack - the best side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

This lineup of the gameweek is selected based on current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Team Fare?

No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

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

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

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

More attacking this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

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

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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