Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One key move in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves opt for no City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is essential to load up on Gunners players as they host one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you must target - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This squad of the week is picked based on current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals last season.

Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

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

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the AFCON.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
