Which Three Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One key call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves opt for zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget is required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City scored in five times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you need to exploit - the best team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

This squad of the week is picked based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and one in their last 6 matches.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (19) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine 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.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

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

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the top striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
