Which Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The major move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek is to opt for zero City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is essential to go all-in on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must target - the best side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

The squad of the week is picked based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

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

White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

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

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

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

Midfield

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

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

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

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

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
