🔗 Share this article Which Three Arsenal Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week One big decision in this FPL squad of the week is to opt for zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland! The budget are needed to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the poorest teams in English top-flight history. It's true, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded. And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you must attack - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief. The lineup of the week is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit. How did The Previous Squad Perform? The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Success! FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16 Keeper and Defence Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home) This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances. Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout. White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home) An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and one in their past six fixtures. White is a great offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h) The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential. The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defender in the league. And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign. Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h) You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches. More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three games. In those matches he's had 4 shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well. Midfield Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h) This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential. Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that. Arsenal will be rubbing their hands. Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h) One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal. More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rotate his squad. Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home) The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset. Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns. Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h) This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be. You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up. He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton. Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h) Leeds United enter this match following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted. This is probably Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON. He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 home matches. Strikers Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home) It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two games. However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least. Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home) It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds. He performed strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role. Substitutes Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
