Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The key decision in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves select no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds is required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host one of the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you just have to attack - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the week is picked based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Fare?

No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and one in their past six matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

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

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
