Which Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The big decision in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to select no City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they host one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City smashed in 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you need to exploit - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This squad of the gameweek is chosen based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss 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 (h)

Leeds come into this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
