Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week

The big decision in this FPL lineup of the gameweek involves opt for no City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The funds are needed to load up on Gunners assets as they host one of the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of five goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you just have to target - the top team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the week is chosen using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive 83 points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You can't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring 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 three fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

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

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

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

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

He's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
