Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The key decision in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves opt for no City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

The funds is required to load up on Gunners assets as they host one of the poorest teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored a total of five times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of encounter you need to target - the best team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a massive eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last six matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

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

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

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

Midfield

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

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

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

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

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two strong home performances 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 heading to the AFCON.

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

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes
