Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One key move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves opt for zero City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget is required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you just have to target - the best side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

This lineup of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times last season.

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.

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

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) 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 squad.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final match before departing for the AFCON.

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

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

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