Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week

One major decision in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are needed to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their last away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you need to attack - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This squad of the gameweek is picked based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Fare?

No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster 83 points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and one in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

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

In those matches he's had 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

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 soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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