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

The key call in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget are essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the poorest teams in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their last away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you just have to attack - the leading side in the division against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a massive 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created 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 could see this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring 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 bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
