Which Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek

The big call in the FPL squad of the week involves opt for zero City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The budget are needed to load up on Gunners players as they host among the poorest teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their last away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you must attack - the top side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

No captain return but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

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

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

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

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

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

He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

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

He was great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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