Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One major decision in this FPL team of the week is to select zero City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds is essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their last away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of fixture you just have to attack - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

This team of the week is selected based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the division.

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 hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (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 quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game following two strong 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 likely Ouattara last match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

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

He performed strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
