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

The key call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves select no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget are essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host one of the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must exploit - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

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

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

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

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

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

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

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the best forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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