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

One major decision in the FPL squad of the week is to select zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is needed to load up on Gunners players as they host among the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you need to attack - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and one in their last six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

More attacking this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal 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 fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

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

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
