Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One key call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are needed to go all-in on Gunners players as they host one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of fixture you just have to attack - the leading team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This week'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 can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game following two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

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

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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