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

One key move in the FPL squad of the week involves go with no City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is required to load up on Gunners players as they face at home among the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

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

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you must target - the best side in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

The squad of the week is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going 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, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last 6 matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

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

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

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

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

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

Strikers

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign 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

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