🔗 Share this article Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week One major call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week is to select no City players - and yes, that includes Haaland! The funds is needed to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory. It's true, City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded. And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you need to attack - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief. The team of the gameweek is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit. How did The Previous Lineup Do? No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive eighty-three points total. Success! FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16 Keeper and Defence Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home) The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances. A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout. White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home) An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last 6 matches. Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home) The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential. The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division. And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals last season. Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home) You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches. More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games. During that spell he's had four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well. Midfield Picks Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home) This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have. No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had double that. Arsenal will be rubbing their hands. Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h) One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners. With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name. He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad. Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home) Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset. Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points. Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h) 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, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up. He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton. Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home) Leeds come into this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored. This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations. He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches. Forwards Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home) It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two matches. Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least. Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home) It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United. He performed great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward. Subs' Bench Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
