Which Three Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The key call in the FPL team of the week involves select zero City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are essential to load up on Arsenal players as they face at home among the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you must attack - the best side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

This team of the week is chosen using current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

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

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
