Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The big call in this FPL lineup of the week is to opt for zero City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The budget are required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you need to target - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The squad of the week is selected based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

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

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

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

White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops 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 - Everton (h)

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

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

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals last season.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking 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 game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rotate his players.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

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

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

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

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds come into this match off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

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

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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