🔗 Share this article Which Three Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week The big call in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to select no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland! Our funds are required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the worst sides in Premier League history. Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC. And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you need to target - the top side in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief. This squad of the week is selected using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit. How did Last Week's Squad Fare? The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a massive 83 points total. Success! Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16 Keeper and Defence Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances. A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option. White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h) An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures. White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home) Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential. Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division. And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign. Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h) You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games. Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three games. In those matches he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too. Midfield Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h) This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have. No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many. Arsenal will be rubbing their hands. Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h) One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners. More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name. He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad. Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home) The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder. Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points. Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h) This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be. You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in. He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton. Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home) Leeds United enter this game off the back of 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 netted. This is probably Ouattara last match before heading to the AFCON. He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches. Forwards Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h) It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games. Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least. Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home) It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds. He performed great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
