Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week

The major move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to go with no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is required to go all-in on Gunners players as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of fixture you need to exploit - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

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

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three games.

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

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last match before departing for the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

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

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

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

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

He was great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
