Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

One big call in the FPL lineup of the week is to go with no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host one of the poorest sides in Premier League history.

It's true, City smashed in five times on their most recent away trip, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you just have to target - the top side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the week is chosen using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge 83 points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

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

In those matches he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable 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 the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench
