Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

The big decision in the FPL squad of the week involves go with zero City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home one of the worst teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have 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 sort of match-up you just have to target - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is selected based on current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

No captain return but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) 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 opportunity to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)

Leeds enter this game following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
