Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

One big move in the FPL lineup of the week involves opt for no City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is required to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home among the worst teams in English top-flight history.

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

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you must exploit - the leading side in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the week is selected using current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster 83 points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

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 matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

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

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the top forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was well 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 minutes at centre-forward.
