Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Gameweek

The key call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves opt for no City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds are required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the worst sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you just have to exploit - the best side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Team Do?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five times last season.

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

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

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had four shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities 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 chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

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

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

Leeds come into this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before departing for the AFCON.

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

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
