Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One big decision in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves opt for zero City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget is essential to go all-in on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the worst teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five times on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you just have to target - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

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

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

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

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

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

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

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

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

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

• Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
