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

One major decision in the FPL team of the gameweek involves opt for no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds is required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you must target - the best side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

The team of the week is picked based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Do?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last six fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

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

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

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

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United enter 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 each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's last match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench
