Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One big call in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves opt for no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they host among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

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

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you need to target - the leading team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road so far 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 the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
