Which Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The key call in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to opt for zero City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The budget are required to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you must exploit - the best team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The team of the week is chosen using current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a massive eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home so far and one in their last six matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.

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

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

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds come into this match following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

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

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

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

He was well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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