Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

The key decision in the FPL squad of the week involves opt for no City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home among the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City scored in five goals on their last away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of fixture you need to attack - the leading team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

No captain return but big hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last six matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last 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 four attempts, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

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

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes
