Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The big move in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to select no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget is needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you need to exploit - the leading team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is chosen based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

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

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

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

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (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-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

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

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
