Which Three Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

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

The funds are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home among the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you just have to target - the top team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

The squad of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive 83 points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Robin 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, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past six fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

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

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

More attacking this season, 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 game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

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

This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed great at the beginning of the season 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 - the Cottagers ({h|home
