Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Week

One big decision in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to go with no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are required to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the worst sides in Premier League history.

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

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you just have to exploit - the best side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and one in their past six fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

You can't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two games.

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

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

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rest his players.

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

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

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

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
