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

One big call in the FPL squad of the gameweek involves opt for no City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host one of the worst sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you need to exploit - the top side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is chosen based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

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

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

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

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match following two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

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

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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