Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

One big decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to select no City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget are required to load up on Gunners players as they host among the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you just have to target - the leading side in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past six matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two at right-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (home)

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two matches.

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

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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