Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The big call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves opt for no City players - and yes, even Haaland!

The funds is needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host among the poorest teams in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of fixture you must target - the top side in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Team Do?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive 83 points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games.

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

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

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

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks 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 strikes in seven home games. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes
