Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One big call in the FPL squad of the gameweek involves go with no City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home among the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you need to exploit - the best team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

This lineup 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 Lineup Fare?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have 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 gets his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with just 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

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

He was strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes
