Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One key move in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is needed to load up on Gunners assets as they host among the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you need to target - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is picked based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

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

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

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
