Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

The big move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to go with no Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds are needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home among the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you need to exploit - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

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

Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

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

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

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

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

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

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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