Which Three Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One big move in the FPL team of the gameweek is to select no Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is required to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you need to exploit - the leading team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

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

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

You can't have high expectations for a 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 very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (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 chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, 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 Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the best forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He performed strongly at the start of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.
