Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

One key call in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves select zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget are needed to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host among the worst teams in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in five times on their last away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you need to attack - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This squad of the week is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal player (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 rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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