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

One big move in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The funds are essential to go all-in on Arsenal players as they host one of the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in five goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you need to exploit - the top side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the week is selected based on current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last 6 matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

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

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

You can't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this as a chance to rotate his squad.

Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

Fernandes 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 ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long 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, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds come into this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

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

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

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

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes
