Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The key call in the FPL squad of the week involves go with no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they host one of the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in five goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you must attack - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the week is picked based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Perform?

No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge 83 points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

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

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

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

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

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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