Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One key move in this FPL lineup of the gameweek is to opt for no City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they welcome among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored in five goals on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of fixture you must exploit - the top team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the week is picked based on current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge 83 points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past six fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

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

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

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

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

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

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

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

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

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was well at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
