Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

The big call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves go with no City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The budget is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they welcome among the poorest teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you must exploit - the leading team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Squad Do?

No captain return but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

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

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

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

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches.

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

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

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

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

Forwards

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed well 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.

The Bench

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