Which Three Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One big call in the FPL squad of the week involves go with zero City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The funds is needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the poorest sides in Premier League history.

Yes, City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you just have to target - the leading team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

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

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game 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 netted.

This is probably the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

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

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
