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

One major call in this FPL lineup of the week involves select no City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

Our budget are essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the poorest teams in Premier League history.

It's true, City scored in five times on their last away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of fixture you must attack - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is selected using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a huge 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
