Which Three Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One major move in the FPL lineup of the week involves select no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome one of the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you must exploit - the best team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Team Perform?

No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

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

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a chance to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

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

Substitutes

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