Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Players to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week

One major call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to opt for zero City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The funds are essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the worst sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you need to exploit - the best side in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

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

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

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this as a chance to rotate his players.

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

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

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two matches.

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

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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