Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The key call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to go with no City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget is essential to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the worst sides in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you must exploit - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

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

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

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

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, 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 United come into this match off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON.

He has been superb for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was great 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 minutes at the number nine role.
