Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One major call in the FPL squad of the week involves go with no City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

It's true, City scored a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you must exploit - the top side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited 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 render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home so far and one in their last six matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

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

In those matches he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, 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 great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

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

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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