Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

The major call in the FPL team of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you need to exploit - the leading side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a massive 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

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

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

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

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

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home)

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

This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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