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

The big call in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our budget is essential to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must exploit - the leading side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is selected using current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

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

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench
