Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week

The big move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to opt for no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds are required to load up on Arsenal assets as they host among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City scored in five times on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of match-up you just have to exploit - the top side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

The lineup of the week is chosen based on current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Perform?

No captain return but high points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

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

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any defender in the league.

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

Dalot, Manchester 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 slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury 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, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

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

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

He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Attack

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

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

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

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

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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