Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

The major call in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to select zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they welcome among the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

It's true, City scored a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you just have to target - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is chosen based on current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

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

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two matches.

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

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

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

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was great at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
