Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

One key move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to go with no Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

Our funds is required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you must target - the top side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the week is chosen using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

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

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match following two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

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

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
