Which Three Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One big move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves select zero City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is needed to load up on Gunners players as they welcome one of the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, City smashed in five times on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you must exploit - the leading team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This squad of the week is selected using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a massive 83 points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

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

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's had four shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

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

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the best forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was well at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
