Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The major decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves select zero City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget are required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome among the poorest teams in Premier League history.

It's true, City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of fixture you must attack - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

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

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past six matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

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

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
