🔗 Share this article Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week One key call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves opt for zero City players - indeed, even Haaland! The funds are required to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory. Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded. And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you just have to exploit - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief. The team of the week is selected based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip. Performance of The Previous Lineup Do? No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 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 Goalkeeper & Defenders Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h) The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action. Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout. Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h) An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures. White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7. Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h) The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefence 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 is yet to score yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign. Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h) You can't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games. Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three fixtures. In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well. Midfield Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home) This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have. No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many. Arsenal will be rubbing their hands. Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h) One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal. With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad. Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h) Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset. Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns. Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home) This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being. You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up. He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees. Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home) Leeds enter this match following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've scored. This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations. He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home. Strikers Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home) It's been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two games. However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least. Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home) It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United. He was well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
