Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One big call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves go with zero City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget are required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they host one of the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

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

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

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

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

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

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

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential 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 - the Toffees (h)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

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

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this match following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed great at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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