Which Three Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

The major decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves select no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget is required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the worst teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City smashed in five goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you just have to target - the leading team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Fare?

No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

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

White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches.

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 four shots, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

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

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds enter this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

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

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

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He's 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, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
