Which Three Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek
The key call in this FPL lineup of the week is to select no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!
Our funds is essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.
Yes, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.
And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you just have to exploit - the leading side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.
This lineup of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.
Performance of The Previous Squad Fare?
No captain return but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a huge eighty-three points. Success!
FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16
Keeper and Defence
Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
The first derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but little clear chances.
A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)
An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal away from home so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.
White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.
Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)
Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.
The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.
And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.
Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)
You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.
More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three games.
During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.
Midfield
Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)
This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.
No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.
Arsenal will be keen to attack.
Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)
Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.
More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.
He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rest his players.
Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.
Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.
Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)
This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 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 one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.
He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.
Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.
This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.
He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.
Attack
Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)
It has been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 points in two matches.
Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.
Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h)
It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.
He was strongly at the beginning 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 the number nine role.
The Bench
- Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
