Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

One major call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves go with zero City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The budget are required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host one of the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City scored a total of five times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you must attack - the top side in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge 83 points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

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

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

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

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

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

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

You can't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.

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

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

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

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

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

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

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

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

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

Leeds come into this match following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

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

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
