Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

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

Our budget is essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in five times on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you need to attack - the top team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

This lineup of the week is picked based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

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

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times last season.

Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a chance to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

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

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

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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