Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One major call in the FPL squad of the gameweek is to select zero City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget are essential to invest heavily on Gunners players as they host among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must exploit - the best side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

The squad of the week is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a huge 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

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

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) 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 - the Cherries (h)

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

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

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 a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues 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 final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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