Which Three Arsenal Players to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The major decision in the FPL team of the week involves opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is needed to load up on Gunners players as they welcome among the worst sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five times on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you must attack - the top side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The squad of the week is selected using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Fare?

No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

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

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been superb for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed great at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench
