Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The key move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves opt for zero City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is essential to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they welcome one of the worst teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their last away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of encounter you must attack - the leading side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and one in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times last season.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes
