Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One big move in the FPL team of the week is to opt for zero City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget is required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of encounter you need to target - the best side in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of Last Week's Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.

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

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds come into this match following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final match before departing for the AFCON.

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

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench
