Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The big move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves select no City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is essential to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you need to target - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Squad Perform?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a huge 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

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

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and one in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

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

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
