Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One key decision in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to opt for no City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are needed to load up on Arsenal players as they face at home among the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you just have to exploit - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is picked using current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last six matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

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

During that spell he's had four shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

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

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (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 created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

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

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 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 soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

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

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this match off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the best forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning 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 playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
