Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One key decision in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves go with no City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is required to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you must exploit - the top team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster 83 points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and one in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.

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

In those matches he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this season, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

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

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is 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 (home)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

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

Substitutes

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