Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The key call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to select no City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of encounter you must attack - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of Last Week's Squad Perform?

No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

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

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees 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, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.

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

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

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware 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 flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

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

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL 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 prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
