Which Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The big call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves go with no City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget is required to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome among the worst sides in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored a total of five times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you must attack - the leading team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This team of the week is chosen using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster 83 points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

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

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

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

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

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

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

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

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

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

He was great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
