Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The key call in this FPL team of the week is to opt for no Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they host among the worst sides in Premier League history.

Yes, City smashed in 5 times on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you must attack - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is picked based on current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two games.

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

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

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

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

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

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

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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