Which Three Arsenal Players to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One key decision in this FPL lineup of the week is to go with zero City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is essential to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome among the worst teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of encounter you must attack - the leading side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is selected using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and one in their last six matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops 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 inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella 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 yet, having netted five goals last season.

Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Strikers

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

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

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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