Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

The major move in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is essential to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you just have to exploit - the leading side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first 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 goalmouth action.

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

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

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

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

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

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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