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

One key decision in the FPL team of the week is to go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

It's true, City scored in five goals on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you just have to target - the leading team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the week is picked using current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

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

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

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

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

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

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Attack

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 points in two games.

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

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

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

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

The Bench

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