Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

One big move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to opt for no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds is needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you need to attack - the best team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

This lineup 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 Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and one in their last six matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's had four shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

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

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter 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 scored.

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

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
