Which Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One key move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves go with zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our budget is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in five goals on their last away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you just have to attack - the best team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

This lineup of the week is picked based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Team Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a massive 83 points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past six matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

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

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three games.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

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

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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