Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

The big call in the FPL team of the gameweek involves go with zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget is essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you need to exploit - the best side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

The lineup of the week is chosen based on current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

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

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

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

Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three games.

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

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
