Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

The major call in this FPL squad of the week is to select zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must attack - the top side in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is picked using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (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 opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

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

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

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

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

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly 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 centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
