Which Three Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One major move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves opt for no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget are needed to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you need to attack - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is going 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 render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times last season.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two matches.

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

During that spell he's taken four shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds enter this match 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 likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

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

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
