Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

The major call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is required to load up on Gunners players as they face at home among the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you must exploit - the best side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is chosen using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rotate his players.

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Strikers

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

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

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
