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

One big decision in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to select no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our funds are essential to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you just have to attack - the best team in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Team Do?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal 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, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable 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 surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss 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 United (h)

Leeds United come into this match following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was great at the start 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 centre-forward.

Substitutes
