Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

The big move in this FPL team of the week involves opt for zero City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds are needed to go all-in on Gunners players as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you need to exploit - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

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

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. 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, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

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

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers 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 Everton.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

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

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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