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

The major move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to select zero City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is required to load up on Arsenal assets as they host among the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored in five times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you need to target - the top side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a massive eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

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

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

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

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

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, 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 could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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