Which Three Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week

The major call in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves select no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds is required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you just have to attack - the leading team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the week is selected using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge 83 points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

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

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games.

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

During that spell he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

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

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
