Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

The major move in the FPL lineup of the week is to opt for zero City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget is essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they host among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must target - the top side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Perform?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but little clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

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

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so 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 might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

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

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

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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