Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One key move in this FPL team of the week is to go with no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are needed to load up on Gunners players as they host among the poorest sides in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you must target - the top side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the gameweek is selected based on current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but big points from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.

Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

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

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

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

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Strikers

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the best forward option for this round 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 (home)

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

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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