Which Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The big move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves go with zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds are required to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

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

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

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players 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 unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

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

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You can'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 last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

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

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

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

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds United enter this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

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

He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
