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

The major move in the FPL squad of the week is to select zero City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds is essential to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you need to attack - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club 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, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (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 - the Cherries (h)

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff 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 bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed strongly 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 minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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