Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

One major decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are essential to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you must target - the best team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

The squad of the week is selected using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive 83 points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and one in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three games.

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

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this as a chance to rest his players.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

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

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

Leeds United enter this game following two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

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

Strikers

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes
