Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Week
One big move in this FPL squad of the week is to go with no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!
The budget is needed to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home among the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.
Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five times 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 allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.
And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you just have to exploit - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.
The squad of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.
Performance of Last Week's Lineup Perform?
No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge 83 points. Boom!
FPL Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16
Defensive Picks
Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)
This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.
Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.
White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)
An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last 6 matches.
White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.
Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)
The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.
Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.
And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times last season.
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)
You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.
Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three games.
During that spell he's had four attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.
Midfield Picks
Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)
This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.
No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.
Arsenal will be keen to attack.
Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)
One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.
More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) 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.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)
Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.
Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)
This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.
You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.
He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.
Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)
Leeds United enter this game following two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.
This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the AFCON.
He's been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.
Forwards
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)
It's been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two games.
However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.
Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)
It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.
He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.
Subs' Bench
- Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
