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

The major call in the FPL team of the gameweek involves go with zero City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is essential to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you just have to target - the leading team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

The team of the week is selected using current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

No captain return but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

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

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season.

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal 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 Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

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

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

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

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

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

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the best forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
