Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

One key move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves opt for zero City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget is essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you just have to exploit - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This team of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to 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 FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

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

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last match before departing for the AFCON.

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

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

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 been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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