🔗 Share this article Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week One major call in the FPL squad of the week involves go with zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland! Our budget are essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history. Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC. And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you need to attack - the best team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief. This lineup of the gameweek is chosen based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit. Performance of The Previous Team Fare? The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a huge eighty-three points total. Boom! FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16 Goalkeeper & Defenders Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home) This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances. Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout. Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h) An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last 6 matches. Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7. Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home) The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential. Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league. And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season. Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h) You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two matches. Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three fixtures. During that spell he's taken 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 (h) This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential. No stats required to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many. The Gunners will be rubbing their hands. Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home) Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners. More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad. Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home) Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder. Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns. Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home) This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being. You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in. He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees. Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home) Leeds enter this match following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored. This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations. He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home. Strikers Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home) It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two matches. However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least. Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home) It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds. He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.
