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

One major decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to select zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is essential to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home among the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their last away trip, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

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

The team of the gameweek is picked using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Team Fare?

No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and one in their last 6 matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals last season.

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this as a chance to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury 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 flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
