Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

The big call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves opt for zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our funds are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you must exploit - the leading side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the week is chosen based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

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

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

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

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

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this as a chance to rest his squad.

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

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

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring 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 was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United 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 netted.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the best forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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