Which Three Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

The major call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves go with zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget is required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

It's true, City smashed in five goals on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

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

This squad of the gameweek is picked based on current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.

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

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

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

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was well at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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