Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The key move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to go with no Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

The funds is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they welcome among the poorest teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of fixture you need to exploit - the leading side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

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

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues 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 AFCON.

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

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
