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

The big move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves select zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget is essential to load up on Gunners players as they face at home one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

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

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you need to target - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

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

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
