Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One key move in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week is to go with no City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget is required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you must attack - the best team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

The squad of the gameweek is selected using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

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

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final match before heading to the AFCON.

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

Attack

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

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

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
