Selecting the Three Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

One big move in this FPL lineup of the week involves select no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you just have to attack - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

This lineup of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge 83 points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

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 getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

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

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any other 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 fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat 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 United (h)

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 home games. He's the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

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

He performed strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
