Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One key decision in this FPL team of the week involves go with zero City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are essential to load up on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored a total of five times on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of fixture you need to target - the best side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is selected based on current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

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 games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

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

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

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

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.

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

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

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed strongly 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 playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
