Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

The key move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves go with zero City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget are required to load up on Gunners assets as they host among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you need to attack - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

The team of the week is chosen based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and one in their last 6 matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts 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.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Forwards

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven home games. He's the top forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

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