Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

One key call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to select zero City players - and yes, even Haaland!

The funds is needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome among the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

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

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you must attack - the best side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is selected based on current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

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

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more chances (19) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down 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 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

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

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

Leeds enter this game following two strong 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 final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes
