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

The big call in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to select no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget are required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of fixture you just have to attack - the best side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

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

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

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

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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