Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

One big call in the FPL team of the week is to go with zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget are required to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you just have to exploit - the leading team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

This lineup of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and one in their last 6 matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's had four attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

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

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
