Which Three Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One big call in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

The funds are required to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their last away trip, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you need to exploit - the best side in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

The squad of the gameweek is selected using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge 83 points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and one in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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 generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rest his players.

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

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

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

Leeds enter this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

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

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace 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 arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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