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

One key call in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves opt for zero City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget is needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they host among the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you just have to target - the top side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is picked using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

No captain return but high hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a massive 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

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

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.

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

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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 term, he's generated more chances than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate 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 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

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

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
