Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One major decision in this FPL team of the gameweek is to go with no City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City scored in 5 times on their last away trip, 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 the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you just have to target - the best side in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge 83 points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

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

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 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 quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this game following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed great 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 minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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