Which Three Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

One key call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves go with zero City players - and yes, even Haaland!

The funds are needed to load up on Gunners assets as they host among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must exploit - the leading side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The lineup of the week is selected based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but high points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal on the road this season and one in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

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

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

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

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

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
