Which Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week

One key move in the FPL squad of the gameweek is to select no City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

The budget is essential to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you need to target - the best team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of The Previous Squad Do?

No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a monster 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two games.

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

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

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

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
