Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The key call in the FPL squad of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is essential to load up on Gunners players as they host among the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City scored in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of fixture you need to attack - the best side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

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

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves 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 - Wolverhampton (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) 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)

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

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

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top 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 select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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