Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

The major call in this FPL squad of the week involves select no City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget is required to go all-in on Gunners players as they host among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their last away fixture, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of fixture you must attack - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

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

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

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

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

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

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

Leeds United come into this match following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

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

Subs' Bench
