Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One key decision in this FPL lineup of the week involves select no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds are needed to load up on Arsenal players as they host among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

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

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of fixture you just have to target - the best team in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

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

This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
