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

The major move in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to select zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget is required to load up on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you just have to target - the leading side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

Performance of Last Week's Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and one in their last 6 matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

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

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

• Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
