Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One major call in the FPL squad of the gameweek involves opt for zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our funds are needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they host one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored in five goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you must attack - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This lineup of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.

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

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 slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an 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 Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rest 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 shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

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

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

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

Leeds United come into this match following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

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

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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