Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One key call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves opt for no City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

Our budget is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the poorest teams in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their last away trip, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of fixture you must target - the best team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

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

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

In those matches he's taken four shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety 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 bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two matches.

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

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
