Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One key move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to select zero City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home among the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

Yes, City smashed in five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you need to attack - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is chosen using current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge 83 points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the division.

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

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.

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

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

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

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

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench
