Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The key call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are essential to load up on Gunners players as they host one of the poorest sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must target - the best side in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is chosen using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the division.

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

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

You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals 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 3 games.

During that spell he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this as a chance to rotate his squad.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

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

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last match before heading to the AFCON.

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

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
