Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One major decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves select no City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host one of the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of fixture you just have to attack - the leading team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

The squad of the week is picked based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a huge 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You can't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

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

During that spell he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this game following two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

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

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

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up 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 Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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