Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The major move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves opt for no Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are required to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City scored in five goals on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of match-up you need to target - the top side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the week is chosen based on current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

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

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

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

Midfielders

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

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

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

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

Substitutes
