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

One major decision in the FPL squad of the week involves go with no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds is required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you need to target - the leading team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is selected using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games.

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

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

Midfielders

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy 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, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game following two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

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

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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