Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Week

One major decision in the FPL lineup of the week is to select no City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are required to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the worst sides in Premier League history.

It's true, City scored in 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you must target - the leading team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The lineup of the week is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

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

Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

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

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

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

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

• Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
