Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One key decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they host among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of encounter you just have to target - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is chosen using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a massive 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

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

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (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 games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

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

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two matches.

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

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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