Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One key move in the FPL team of the week involves select no Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

The budget are required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

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

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you need to exploit - the best side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but big points from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's had four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this as a chance to rest his squad.

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

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

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

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

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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