Which Three Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

The key decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves opt for no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget are essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you just have to target - the leading side in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a massive 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, 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, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

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

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's had four shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

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

The Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
