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

The major move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home among the poorest sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the kind of fixture you must attack - the leading side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

The lineup of the week is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance produced a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

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

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

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

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

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset 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 missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the top forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He performed great at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
