Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

One big move in the FPL lineup of the week is to opt for zero City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home among the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of encounter you need to target - the leading team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This squad of the week is selected using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and one in their last 6 matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

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

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

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

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

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

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

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

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

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

He missed the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)

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

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

He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
