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

One major call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves go with zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must attack - the leading team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is chosen based on current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Team Perform?

No captain return but big points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

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

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

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

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds come into this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

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

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

• Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
