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

One key call in the FPL squad of the gameweek is to go with no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds are essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you just have to target - the best side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

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 clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
