Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One key call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves select zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host one of the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

It's true, City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you must target - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

This squad of the week is chosen based on current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight 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 minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

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

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

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

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

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

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

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

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

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the best forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

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

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
