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

One big call in this FPL team of the gameweek involves go with zero City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds are required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they host among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their last away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you must attack - the best team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is chosen based on current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a monster eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset 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 ChelseaEuropean loss 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 (home)

Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

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

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

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

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

Substitutes

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