Which Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The big decision in this FPL team of the gameweek involves opt for zero City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds is required to load up on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

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

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you just have to exploit - the leading team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the week is selected based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past six matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

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

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)

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

This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench

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