Which Three Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

One key move in the FPL lineup of the week is to go with zero City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you just have to exploit - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This team of the week is picked based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

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

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

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

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a chance to rotate his players.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

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

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

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

This is probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

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

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £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 performed well at the start 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 centre-forward.

The Bench

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