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

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

Our funds are required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

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

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you need to target - the top team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is chosen based on current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Team Perform?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

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

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)

Leeds come into this game off the back of two great 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 probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

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

Forwards

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the best forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

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

Substitutes

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