🔗 Share this article Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek One major move in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to select zero City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland! The budget are essential to load up on Arsenal players as they host one of the worst teams in English top-flight history. Yes, City smashed in 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC. And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you just have to exploit - the leading side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence. This lineup of the week is chosen based on current FPL 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 big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive 83 points total. Success! Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16 Keeper and Defence Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action. A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout. White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h) An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their last six matches. Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home) The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside. Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league. And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season. Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home) You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games. More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three games. During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too. Midfield Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home) This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have. No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many. The Gunners will be rubbing their hands. Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h) Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal. More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name. He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this as a chance to rotate his players. Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h) The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder. Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns. Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home) This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be. You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up. He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton. Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home) Leeds United enter this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted. This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations. He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home. Attack Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home) It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three points in two matches. Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least. Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home) Surely the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United. He performed great at the beginning of the campaign 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. Subs' Bench Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
