🔗 Share this article Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek One major call in this FPL lineup of the week is to opt for zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland! The funds is essential to go all-in on Gunners players as they host among the poorest teams in English top-flight history. It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC. And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must attack - the top side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief. The squad of the week is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip. How did Last Week's Team Fare? The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster 83 points. Boom! FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16 Keeper and Defence Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home) This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances. A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option. Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h) An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their last six matches. Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h) Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential. Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league. And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times last season. Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h) You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just 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 advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games. In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well. Midfield Picks Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h) This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have. No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many. The Gunners will be licking their lips. Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home) Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners. More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name. He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rest his squad. Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h) The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder. Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points. Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home) This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being. You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in. He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees. Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h) Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, 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 AFCON. He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home. Strikers Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home) It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two games. Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least. Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (h) Surely the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds. He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role. The Bench Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
