Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One major call in this FPL lineup of the week is to opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget is needed to invest heavily on Gunners players as they welcome one of the poorest teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of encounter you just have to target - the best side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

The squad of the week is chosen based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a massive 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.

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

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

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing 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 well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds enter this game following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's final match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
