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

The big move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves go with zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds are required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home among the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored in five times on their last away trip, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you must attack - the best team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is chosen based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's generated more chances 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 fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the AFCON.

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

Strikers

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.
