Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One major call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to opt for zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is needed to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

It's true, City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you need to target - the best side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The team of the week is selected using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last six matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
