Which Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One key call in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves go with no City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds are essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home among the worst teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their last away trip, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you just have to exploit - the top team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the week is picked using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Do?

No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more chances (19) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his players.

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

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

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Forwards

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

• Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
