Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

The big move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to select no City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds are needed to go all-in on Gunners players as they host one of the poorest sides in Premier League history.

It's true, City scored in five times on their most recent away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you just have to target - the top side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the gameweek is picked using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (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 past six fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

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

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

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

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
