Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One big move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to opt for zero City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they host among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their last away trip, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you must target - the best side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is chosen based on current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road so far and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times last season.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

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

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

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

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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