Which Three Gunners Players to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

The key move in the FPL squad of the gameweek is to opt for no Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

Our budget is essential to load up on Gunners players as they face at home one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of encounter you need to exploit - the best team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The lineup of the week is selected using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

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

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

You can't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rotate his players.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the AFCON.

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

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes
