Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The major move in this FPL squad of the week is to opt for zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget is needed to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they host one of the worst sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you must target - the leading team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

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

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. 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 the very least.

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

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

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench
