Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The key call in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they welcome among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in five goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of encounter you just have to attack - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, 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. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

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

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

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

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes
