Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

One big call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves opt for no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home one of the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored in five goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you must exploit - the leading team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and self-belief.

The lineup of the gameweek is picked based on current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals last season.

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

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

More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was well at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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