Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

One big decision in this FPL lineup of the week involves select zero City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget are essential to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the worst sides in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored a total of five goals on their last away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you must target - the best side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two games.

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

In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

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

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four 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 Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this match following two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

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

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
