Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

One big move in this FPL lineup of the gameweek is to select no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our funds are required to load up on Gunners assets as they face at home among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you need to target - the leading team in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

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

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

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

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

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

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
