Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The key call in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves opt for no City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The budget is required to load up on Gunners players as they host one of the worst sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you must attack - the leading team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

The team of the week is chosen using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the division.

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

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

You can't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

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

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

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith 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 been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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