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

The big call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves go with zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

The funds are needed to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they host one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you need to exploit - the top team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the week is chosen using current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

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

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know 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 was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.
