Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Select v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

The key move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to select zero City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you need to attack - the best side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given 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 defenders with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

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

You can't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

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

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

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes
