Which Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The major call in the FPL squad of the gameweek is to opt for no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds are needed to go all-in on Arsenal players as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored in five goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of encounter you need to attack - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Squad Perform?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and one in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

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

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

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a chance to rest his players.

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

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

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this match following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the top forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the start of the campaign 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.

The Bench

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
