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

The key call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves select no City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they welcome among the worst sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you just have to target - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is selected using current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive 83 points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

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

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

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

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes
