Which Three Gunners Players to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

The major decision in the FPL lineup of the week involves opt for no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The budget are required to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the worst sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored a total of five times on their last away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you must target - the best side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The lineup of the week is selected using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times last season.

Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

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

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers 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 managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

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

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

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

He was great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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