Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

The key decision in this FPL lineup of the gameweek involves go with no City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The funds are needed to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the worst sides in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you must attack - the best team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This team of the week is picked based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

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

The Bench

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