Which Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One major decision in the FPL team of the week involves opt for no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are needed to invest heavily on Gunners players as they welcome among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you must exploit - the top side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

The team of the week is selected using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

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

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

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, 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 game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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