Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

One major decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves select no City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is needed to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed a total of five goals on their last away trip, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you need to exploit - the leading team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the week is selected based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

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

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

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

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

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
