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

The major call in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves opt for zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The funds are essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored in 5 times on their last away trip, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of fixture you just have to target - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

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

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

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

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

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella 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 hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

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

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

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

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

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

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds United come into this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
