Which Three Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The key call in the FPL team of the week involves go with no City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget are essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they host one of the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must attack - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is selected using current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Team Perform?

No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past 6 matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

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

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

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

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes
