Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The key call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves select zero City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget is essential to invest heavily on Gunners players as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you must exploit - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

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

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

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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