Which Three Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

One key decision in the FPL lineup of the gameweek is to select no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The funds is required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home among the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in five times on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you just have to target - the best side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

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

Performance of Last Week's Team Do?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a massive 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down 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 games.

In those matches he's had four attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

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

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

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

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
