🔗 Share this article Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek One key call in the FPL team of the week involves opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland! The funds is needed to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome among the worst teams in Premier League history. It's true, Manchester City scored in five goals on their last away trip, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded. And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must exploit - the best team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence. This lineup of the gameweek is selected using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip. Performance of The Previous Lineup Do? No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge 83 points total. Boom! FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16 Defensive Picks Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home) This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action. Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout. White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home) An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and one in their last 6 matches. White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h) The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside. The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division. And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign. Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h) You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches. Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 games. In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too. Midfield Picks Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h) This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential. No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that. Arsenal will be keen to attack. Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home) Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners. More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rest his players. Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h) Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder. Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns. Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h) This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being. You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up. He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton. Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home) Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted. This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the AFCON. He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches. Attack Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home) It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only three FPL points in two matches. Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least. Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home) Surely the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United. He performed great at the start of the campaign 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 centre-forward. Substitutes Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
