Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One big move in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of five goals on their last away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you need to exploit - the top side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

This team of the week is picked using current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and one in their last 6 matches.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

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

Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's had four shots, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

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

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from 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 - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed great at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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