Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

The big call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves select zero City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they host one of the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you just have to target - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Squad Do?

No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

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

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past six fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

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

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

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

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
