Which Three Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

The key call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves go with zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is needed to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of fixture you need to target - the leading side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This team of the gameweek is selected using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches 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 Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Strikers

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

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

He was great at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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