Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The major move in this FPL squad of the week is to opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is essential to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored in five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you just have to attack - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

The lineup of the week is chosen using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Team Do?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

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

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) 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 (home)

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.

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

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
