Which Three Arsenal Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One big move in this FPL team of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds are required to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you just have to attack - the best side in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a huge 83 points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

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

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

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

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

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

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

Leeds come into this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
