Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

The big move in the FPL squad of the week involves select no City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The funds is required to load up on Gunners players as they host among the poorest teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you just have to exploit - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road so far and one in their past six fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

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

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

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this as a chance to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

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

He was great 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 minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench
