Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One major call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to select no City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they host among the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you just have to attack - the leading team in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the week is chosen using current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home so far and one in their last 6 matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's had four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

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

This is probably Ouattara last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Attack

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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 was strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

• Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
