Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The key call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to opt for zero City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home among the poorest teams in Premier League history.

It's true, City smashed a total of five goals on their last away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you must attack - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

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

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

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's taken four shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

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

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

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget 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 haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
