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

One key decision in this FPL team of the week involves go with no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds are essential to load up on Gunners players as they host one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you need to exploit - the best team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

The lineup of the week is chosen using current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

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

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

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

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

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

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this game following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two games.

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

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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