Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One big move in the FPL team of the week involves go with no Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our budget is needed to load up on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of fixture you must exploit - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the gameweek is selected using current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Do?

No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

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

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's had four shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 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 soon 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 well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
