Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week

The major decision in this FPL squad of the week involves select zero City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home among the worst sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their last away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you must attack - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a monster eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past six matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals last season.

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

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

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

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

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury 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 a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

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

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

The Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
