Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One big move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek is to select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds is needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you just have to attack - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This lineup of the gameweek is chosen based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past six matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

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

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

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

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly 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 challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
