Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

The key decision in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves opt for zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget are needed to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the worst teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of fixture you need to exploit - the top team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times last season.

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

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

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

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

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

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

This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Strikers

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

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

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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