Which Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

The big decision in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to select zero City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The budget is required to go all-in on Gunners players as they host among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you need to target - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal on the road this season and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games.

During that spell he's taken four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

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

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive 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 rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

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

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven home games. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
