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

One major decision in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves opt for no City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they welcome among the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you need to attack - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

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

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so 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 could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

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

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed 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.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

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

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker owners, with only three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He's the best forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
