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

The big decision in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves opt for zero City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds are essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they host among the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their last away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you need to exploit - the leading side in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

This team of the week is chosen using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.

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

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

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this match off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

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

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

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was 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 challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes
