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

One major move in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves opt for no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds is essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you need to target - the leading team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is chosen using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but high points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

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

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

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

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 bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the top 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 keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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