Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

The key move in the FPL team of the gameweek involves select no City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds is required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home one of the poorest sides in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored in five times on their last away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you just have to target - the leading side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is picked using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

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

During that spell he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

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

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal 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 chance to rest his players.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

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

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the best forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul 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 been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
