Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The major decision in this FPL team of the gameweek involves select no City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you just have to attack - the best side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

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

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

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

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

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

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul 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 arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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