Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One key call in the FPL squad of the gameweek is to select no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds are required to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome among the worst teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you must target - the leading team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

This team of the week is chosen using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Team Do?

No captain return but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

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

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

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced 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, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)

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

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
