Which Three Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The big move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is essential to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

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

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you must exploit - the top side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

This lineup of the week is picked based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

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

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton 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 makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single 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 Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

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

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, 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, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this match following two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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