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

One major move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves go with no City players - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget is essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they host one of the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you must attack - the top team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

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

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

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

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

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

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

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