Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One major move in the FPL squad of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they welcome among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their last away fixture, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you just have to target - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

This squad of the week is chosen using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

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

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

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

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

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter this match following two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He is the top forward option 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, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
