Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

The major decision in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves opt for no City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are required to load up on Gunners assets as they face at home among the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you need to attack - the best team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is chosen using current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, 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 goalkeeper scoring charts, a good option.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past 6 matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

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

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

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

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

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

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

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 points in two matches.

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

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

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

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench
