Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One major move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves opt for no City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds are essential to invest heavily on Gunners players as they welcome among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

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

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

Performance of The Previous Team Fare?

No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's had four shots, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

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

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

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

He was 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 challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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