Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

The major decision in this FPL team of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

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

Yes, City scored a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you just have to attack - the leading side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the gameweek is selected using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - 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 FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defence 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 hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

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

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

In those matches he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

More attacking this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the top forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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