Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The big call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to select zero City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home among the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you must exploit - the best side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of Last Week's Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the best forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

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

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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