Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The key decision in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to go with no Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget are required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you must target - the leading side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games.

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

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

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

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

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player 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 missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was well at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes
