Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

One key call in the FPL team of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host among the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you just have to exploit - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the gameweek is selected using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a massive 83 points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

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

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

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

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

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

In those matches he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

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

No stats required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal player (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 as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

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

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

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

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

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 home games. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the season 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

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