Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

The big decision in the FPL team of the gameweek is to opt for zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

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

Yes, City smashed in five times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you need to exploit - the top side in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Squad Do?

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

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players 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)

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed 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 playing time at the number nine role.
