With another mouthwatering round of action in the Premier League on the horizon, here are three players who you need in your FPL team. We're on the lookout for value-for-money players with a strong chance of a points haul. One of the players involved on our list will surely be taking the field when league leaders Arsenal welcome Wolves to Emirates Stadium, live on TNT Sports and discovery+.

The Premier League produced another week full of goals and exciting drama.
Gameweek 15 kicked off at Villa Park where Unai Emery's Aston Villa side stunned league leaders Arsenal with a stoppage-time winner from Emi Buendia.
Manchester City subsequently closed the gap at the top of the table to two points after claiming an impressive 3-0 victory over Sunderland at Etihad Stadium.
Liverpool also suffered late heartbreak at Elland Road as Leeds United rescued a dramatic point in a pulsating 3-3 draw - a game that has almost been forgotten following Mohamed Salah's explosive interview afterwards.
Mikel Arteta's side have the perfect opportunity to bounce back when The Gunners welcome bottom-of-the-table Wolverhampton Wanderers to Emirates Stadium on Saturday evening, and you can follow all the action from that game live on TNT Sports and discovery+.
Rob Edwards' team are still without a win in the league this season and suffered a crushing 4-1 defeat to Manchester United on Monday.

If recent gameweeks have shown us anything, it is that the differentials are the key to a successful FPL team.
It is also crucial to point out that if you used all of your transfers last time around, you will now be allocated FIVE FREE transfers. You can't have more than five transfers, so you must use at least one transfer this week - or lose it!
So, ahead of another key weekend, here are three players that could make all the difference in your FPL team.
The categories are:
- Player 1: Max 10% ownership
- Player 2: Max 5% ownership
- Player 3: Max 2% ownership
Before we get started, keep in mind that the Gameweek 16 deadline is Saturday, December 13 at 13:30 UK time.

1. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, £5.1m (Midfielder, Everton, 7.9%)
It is amazing to think that Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's ownership in FPL is below 10%.
The Everton midfielder has been in superb form lately and has only blanked once in his last five Premier League appearances.
During this run of form, he has scored three goals and provided two assists, as well as picking up a total of seven bonus points in the process.

There will be extra motivation for the midfielder heading into this weekend's game as Everton travel to his former club Chelsea on Saturday afternoon.
Dewsbury-Hall only made two starts for The Blues in the Premier League last season as his game-time was limited to matches in the UEFA Conference League.
Chelsea have failed to pick up a win in their last four matches across all competitions and Dewsbury-Hall will be keen to add more misery at Stamford Bridge.

2. Rayan Cherki, £6.4m (Midfielder, Man City, 3.9%)
Rayan Cherki is starting to find his feet at Manchester City.
After scoring on his Premier League debut in their season opener, the France international suffered a thigh injury which ruled him out for two months.
The attacking midfielder has bounced back from that setback and is enjoying his football under Pep Guardiola. He has blanked just once in his last four league appearances.
Cherki put on a dazzling performance as City eased past Sunderland, with the former Lyon star picking up 12 FPL points following his unforgettable rabona assist to Phil Foden.
With City returning to England following a statement 2-1 victory at Real Madrid, Cherki could be the key man to help the team unlock the Crystal Palace defence on Sunday afternoon.

3. Myles Lewis-Skelly, £5.1m (Defender, Arsenal, 1.6%)
You might be wondering why we would opt for a player who has failed to claim more than two FPL points this season.
But with first-choice left back Riccardo Calafiori unavailable due to suspension, this could be the ideal scenario for Myles Lewis-Skelly to get some much-needed points on the board.
After enjoying a breakthrough campaign with The Gunners last season, Lewis-Skelly has spent most of this term watching on from the sidelines.

However, with winless Wolves travelling to north London this weekend, Lewis-Skelly must grab his chance and remind Arsenal boss Arteta of his qualities both in attack and defensively.
The England international played the full 90 minutes on Wednesday night as Arsenal continued their perfect record in the UEFA Champions League with a 3-0 win at Club Brugge.
Another clean sheet against Wolves would be timely for Lewis-Skelly and with the rock-bottom side lacking in confidence, the youngster could punish them with his first goal contribution of the campaign.
A good performance could see him muscle his way into Mikel Arteta's long-term plan.
