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

The major move in the FPL squad of the gameweek is to opt for no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget is required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you just have to attack - the leading team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the week is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two matches.

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

In those matches he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

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

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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