Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One key decision in the FPL lineup of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds is essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome among the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you must attack - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge 83 points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

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

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

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any defender in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this match off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

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

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

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

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

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the top forward option 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 (h)

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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