Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

One major decision in this FPL team of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget are required to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

Yes, City smashed in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you just have to attack - the leading team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

The squad of the week is selected using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three games.

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

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

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

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, 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 game off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

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

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

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench
