Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

The big move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you must attack - the best team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals last season.

Dalot, 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 Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

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

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners 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 rotate his squad.

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

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

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long 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 flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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