Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

One major move in this FPL lineup of the week involves select zero City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget is needed to load up on Gunners players as they face at home among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you must target - the top team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and one in their last six matches.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

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

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three games.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

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

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

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

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

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

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

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

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He performed well at the start 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.

Subs' Bench
