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

The key move in this FPL team of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The budget are required to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you need to exploit - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the gameweek is chosen using current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive 83 points. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two games.

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

In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this game following two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

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

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the top striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench
