Which Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One key decision in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves select zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The funds are required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they host among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City scored in five goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you must attack - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Team Do?

No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and one in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two games.

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

In those matches he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

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

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

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

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

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
