🔗 Share this article Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week One big call in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to go with no City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland! Our funds is essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory. It's true, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC. And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you just have to exploit - the leading side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief. The squad of the week is picked using current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip. How did Last Week's Lineup Do? No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a huge 83 points. Success! FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16 Defensive Picks Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h) This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action. Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout. White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home) An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and one in their past 6 matches. White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h) The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside. The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league. And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign. Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h) You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two matches. More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three fixtures. In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too. Midfield Picks Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h) This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential. No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many. The Gunners will be rubbing their hands. Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home) Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners. More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name. He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players. Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home) The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder. Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns. Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home) This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be. You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up. He missed the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees. Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home) Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored. This is likely Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations. He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home. Forwards Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h) It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two matches. However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at least. Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home) It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United. He was strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
