Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One big decision in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is essential to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home among the poorest sides in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored in five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you just have to target - the leading side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The squad of the week is selected based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.

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

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

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

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

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

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

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds enter this match following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
