Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One major call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week is to opt for zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they host among the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you must target - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is picked using current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

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

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

• Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
