Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One major call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves opt for no City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is needed to go all-in on Gunners players as they face at home among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored a total of five goals on their last away trip, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you must target - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rest his squad.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game following two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

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

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes
