Which Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One major call in this FPL squad of the week involves select no City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget are required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host one of the worst sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you need to attack - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This squad of the gameweek is chosen using current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.

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

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

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

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

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)

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

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

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

He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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