Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

The key move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves opt for zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of encounter you need to attack - the best side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Team Do?

No captain return but high points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

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

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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