Which Top 3 Arsenal Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

The key decision in the FPL lineup of the week involves go with zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is essential to invest heavily on Gunners players as they host one of the worst sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of fixture you must attack - the best side in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is selected using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home)

Leeds United enter this match following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals 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 up until the January window at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was great 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 challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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