Which Three Arsenal Players to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

The major move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to go with zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget are needed to go all-in on Gunners players as they host one of the worst sides in Premier League history.

It's true, City scored a total of five times on their last away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you need to attack - the leading team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This lineup of the gameweek is picked using current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and one in their past 6 matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player 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 bring him in.

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

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

Leeds United enter this game following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed great at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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