Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One big call in the FPL squad of the week involves opt for no Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our budget is required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home among the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you must attack - the best side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The squad of the week is chosen using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

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

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds come into this match off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the AFCON.

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

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

Subs' Bench
