Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week

The key move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to opt for no City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host among the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you must target - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is picked using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive 83 points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's had four shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

More advanced this season, he's generated 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 Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

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

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

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

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal 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 the number nine role.

The Bench

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