Which Three Arsenal Players to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

The big call in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to select no City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they host one of the worst teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you need to exploit - the leading side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is chosen based on current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

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

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's taken four shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

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

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

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

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt 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, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
