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

One big decision in this FPL team of the gameweek involves opt for zero City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you need to target - the top side in the division against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

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

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

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

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

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

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

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

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.
