Triple Captain chips, Free Hits and some of those extra free transfers have been widely lavished on Arsenal players in Gameweek 16.

Tonight, the league leaders take on a Wolverhampton Wanderers side still without a win or clean sheet in 2025/26.

Will it be a cricket score or an anticlimax?

Kick-off at the Emirates is at 20:00 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

It’s positive news on the fitness front as all four of the Gunners marked at ‘75%’ in the FPL flag system make the matchday squad.

William Saliba, Jurrien Timber and Declan Rice start, while Leandro Trossard is among the substitutes.

Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze also come back into the side following midweek rests.

Compared to last weekend’s line-up against Aston Villa, rather than the much-changed XI sent out against Club Brugge, there are three changes.

It’s Gabriel Martinelli, Viktor Gyokeres and Saliba in for Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino and the suspended Riccardo Calafiori.

As for the beleagured visitors, Rob Edwards makes three changes to the side that lost to Manchester United.

Matt Doherty and Joao Gomes are back from injury and suspension, with Hwang Hee-chan joining them in the line-up.

Ki-Jana Hoever and Jhon Arias drop to the bench, while Jean-Ricner Bellegarde is injured.

LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Raya, White, Timber, Saliba, Hincapie, Zubimendi, Rice, Eze, Martinelli, Saka, Gyokeres.

    As a compromise, Saka assist removed but bonus has been awarded.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 months, 15 days ago

      Aaaand it's gone

  2. rozzo
    • 12 Years
    3 months, 15 days ago

    This is by far the most boring premier league season I've ever seen

  3. MikeS
    • 11 Years
    3 months, 15 days ago

    Personally I think saka should be awarded the goal and the assist

  4. putana
    • 7 Years
    3 months, 15 days ago

    saka will scam a goal in the 95th

  5. tucaoneo
    • 7 Years
    3 months, 15 days ago

    Surely that counts as at least a Saka assist, a Saka goal if we're stretching it?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 15 days ago

      Has it been counted as a SoT?

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Bruno g tried a shot from corner so why not saka. Keeper saved and then goal. Why not given

    1. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 15 days ago

      It was on target, so why not a shot?

  7. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 months, 15 days ago

    Saka plummeting down the bonus points. Needs 10 more defcon.

  8. F4L
    • 11 Years

    holdddd arsenal

  9. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years

    I’m begging for a Haaland blank tomorrow, he’s going to kill me if Saka doesn’t grab a goal here

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Saka on 1 bap

    Get that assist and a goal to wrap it up my son

  11. The Bandit

    It all comes down to whether they decide it was a shot or a cross. It’s a bit simplistic to say it was obviously a cross, when players are quite capable of trying to score from a corner.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 15 days ago

      Cross shot

  12. fusen
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 15 days ago

    Saka delivering a corner that is a looping cross which everyone misses so loops enough to hit the goal, then people pretend it's a shot?

    1. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 15 days ago

      Clearly a shot

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 15 days ago

      Doesn’t matter if it’s a shot or not

      1. fusen
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 15 days ago

        It literally does, that why is hasn't been given as an assist in FPL

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        3 months, 15 days ago

        Yes it does.

    3. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 15 days ago

      Has it been counted as a SoT?

    4. fusen
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 15 days ago

      To say that is a shot is to say every in swinging corner is a shot as long as no one touches the ball to have their own attempt on goal, as that would then make it a cross?

  13. Clintymints

    Biggest Fpl robbery in recent times. Pitchforks to twitter

  14. Dank Squid

    Arsenal are joke.
    Let’s hope they don’t win the league.

    Arsenal trying to run out a 1-0 win lol....

    1. Jafooli

      Lol....Wolves deserved that....and so did Arsenal

    If Johnstone touches it onto the post and then it hits him again before it hits the net, it's no assist. If it comes back off the post and hits Johnstone, total once, then it should be an assist.

    "No assist will be awarded if the pass receives two or more defensive touches"

      Makes sense

    Had a sneaky feeling Haaland would be the right captain. Hopefully he blanks.
