Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The key decision in this FPL squad of the week involves go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is required to load up on Gunners players as they face at home among the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of encounter you just have to attack - the leading team in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the gameweek is selected using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

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

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

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

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

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

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

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Attack

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

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

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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