Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One key call in this FPL team of the gameweek is to select zero City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our budget are essential to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you just have to target - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a massive 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

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

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

During that spell he's had four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this as a chance to rest his players.

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

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

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers 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 ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed great at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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