Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

The key move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves opt for no City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they host among the worst sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five times on their last away fixture, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you must exploit - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This team of the week is chosen using current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a massive 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

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

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

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

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

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

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

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He's the best forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
