Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week

The key call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to go with zero City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is needed to load up on Arsenal players as they face at home among the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their last away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you need to exploit - the top team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is chosen using current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a massive eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

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

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

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games.

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

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

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

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (27) 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 chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring 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 missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)

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

This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

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

He was strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench
