Which Three Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One key move in this FPL lineup of the week is to go with no City players - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget are needed to load up on Arsenal players as they face at home among the poorest teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their last away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you need to target - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the week is chosen using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Do?

No captain return but high points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

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

You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

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

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

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

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, 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 would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes
