Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One major call in this FPL lineup of the week is to select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are needed to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

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

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you just have to exploit - the best side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

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

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

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

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's created 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 the manager could see this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

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

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds come into this game following two strong home results 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 match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was 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 challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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