Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

One major decision in this FPL lineup of the gameweek involves go with zero City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they host among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you need to target - the best team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This team of the week is chosen based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

No captain return but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

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

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

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

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

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

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

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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