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

The key move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are needed to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you just have to exploit - the top team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

This lineup of the gameweek is chosen using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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 the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

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

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's punt, 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 soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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