Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Lineup of the Gameweek

One major call in the FPL team of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The budget are essential to load up on Gunners assets as they host among the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you just have to target - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is picked using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past six fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three games.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
