Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The major call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves go with zero City players - and yes, even Haaland!

The funds are required to load up on Arsenal players as they face at home among the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you must attack - the best team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This team of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two games.

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

During that spell he's had four attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

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

The Bench
