Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One major call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves opt for no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds are needed to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home one of the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of match-up you need to exploit - the leading team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the week is picked using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last six matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

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

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

Leeds United enter this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench
