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

The big call in the FPL squad of the gameweek involves opt for zero City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are required to load up on Arsenal players as they host among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of encounter you need to attack - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This team of the week is chosen based on current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and one in their last 6 matches.

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

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

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long injury 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, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game following two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last match before departing for the AFCON.

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

Strikers

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

• Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
