Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One major move in the FPL team of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds are needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they host among the worst teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored in five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you must exploit - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is chosen based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

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

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, 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 superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the top forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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