Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

One big move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to select no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

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

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of match-up you need to attack - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the week is picked based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a huge 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

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

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

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

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON.

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

Forwards

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

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

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

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

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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