Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The big decision in this FPL lineup of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The budget are essential to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the worst teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored in five times on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you must exploit - the best side in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the week is selected using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at full-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 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

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

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points.

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

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

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

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

This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

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 arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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