Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The key move in this FPL team of the gameweek is to opt for zero City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds are required to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City smashed in five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you just have to target - the leading team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and one in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

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

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury 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, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

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

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the top forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
