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

One major move in this FPL lineup of the gameweek is to opt for zero City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The funds are needed to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you just have to attack - the best team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past six matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times last season.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

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

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

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

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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