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

The key call in the FPL team of the gameweek involves opt for zero City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they welcome among the worst sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of match-up you must exploit - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times last season.

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

You can't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

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

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this game following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, 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 this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

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

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

• Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
