Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

The key call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to select no City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is needed to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their last away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of fixture you need to exploit - the best team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is chosen based on current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

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

White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

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

Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three games.

During that spell he's had four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

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

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

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

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

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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