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

The major call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are essential to go all-in on Arsenal players as they host among the poorest teams in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you just have to exploit - the best team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive 83 points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and one in their past six fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

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

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

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

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

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's final match before departing for the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
