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

The major decision in the FPL lineup of the week is to opt for no City players - and yes, even Haaland!

The funds is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they welcome among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in five times on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you must attack - the leading team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past six matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times last season.

Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

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

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

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

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

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

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

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

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

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
