Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The key call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves go with zero Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

The funds is needed to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home one of the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five times on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you must attack - the best side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This team of the gameweek is selected using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Team Fare?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

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

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game following two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

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

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul 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 arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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