🔗 Share this article Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek One major call in the FPL lineup of the week involves select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland! The budget is required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home among the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory. Yes, Manchester City scored in five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded. And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you just have to attack - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence. This squad of the gameweek is picked using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit. Performance of Last Week's Squad Fare? No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster eighty-three points. Success! FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16 Keeper and Defence Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances. Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option. Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home) An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and one in their last 6 matches. Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home) The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential. The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league. And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign. Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h) You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games. More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games. In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday as well. Midfielders Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home) This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have. No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many. The Gunners will be rubbing their hands. Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home) One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal. More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad. Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home) Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset. Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points. Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home) This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being. You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in. He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees. Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home) Leeds United enter this match following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted. This is probably the winger's final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations. He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches. Attack Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home) It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 points in two games. Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least. Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h) Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United. He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward. Substitutes Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
