Which Three Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

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

Our budget is required to load up on Gunners players as they host one of the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of five times on their last away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you must attack - the best side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is picked based on current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

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

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game following two strong 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 the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes
