Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

One major move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to opt for no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds are required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host one of the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

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

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

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

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

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

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

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

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

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rest his players.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

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

This is probably the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

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

He was great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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