Which Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

The major move in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves opt for no City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you must attack - the best team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the week is chosen using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Team Perform?

No captain return but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.

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 Arsenal.

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds enter this match following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

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

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

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

He performed great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench
