🔗 Share this article Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek The key call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to opt for zero City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland! The budget are needed to load up on Gunners assets as they host one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory. It's true, City scored in 5 goals on their last away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded. And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you must attack - the top team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief. The squad of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip. How did Last Week's Team Perform? The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge 83 points total. Boom! FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16 Goalkeeper & Defenders Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) The first derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action. Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option. Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home) An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last six fixtures. White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7. Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h) The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside. Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the division. And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times the previous campaign. Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h) You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches. Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures. During that spell he's had four shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well. Midfield Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home) This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential. Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many. Arsenal will be rubbing their hands. Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h) Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal. With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rest his squad. Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home) Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder. Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points. Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home) This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be. You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up. He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton. Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h) Leeds enter this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted. This is probably Ouattara final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations. He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three home matches. Forwards Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h) It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two games. Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the best forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least. Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h) Surely the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United. He was great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward. Substitutes Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
