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

The key call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to go with no City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds are essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they host among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you need to attack - the leading side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is selected using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

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

During that spell he's taken four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

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

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds United enter this game following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

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

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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