Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

One big decision in this FPL lineup of the gameweek is to opt for zero City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are needed to load up on Gunners assets as they host one of the worst sides in Premier League history.

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

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of match-up you need to attack - the leading side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The lineup of the gameweek is selected based on current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and one in their last six matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

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

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

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

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three FPL 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 forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
