Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

The key move in the FPL squad of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget are essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome among the worst sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City scored in five times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you need to attack - the best team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is picked using current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

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

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.

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

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (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 opportunity to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
