Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

One big call in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to go with zero City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City smashed in five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of encounter you just have to exploit - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

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

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

You can't have great hopes for a United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's taken four shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and might have had double that.

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 incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

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

He performed great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes
