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

One big decision in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves opt for no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome among the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you need to attack - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the gameweek is chosen 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 Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

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

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

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

Substitutes
