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

The major call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to go with zero City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

Our budget is needed to load up on Arsenal players as they face at home among the worst teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you must target - the leading side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This squad of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

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

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

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

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

This is likely Ouattara last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
