Which Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The major decision in this FPL lineup of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds is needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of match-up you need to attack - the top team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

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

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

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

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games.

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

During that spell he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

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

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

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

He was great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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