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

One big move in this Fantasy Premier League team of the week is to opt for zero City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds is required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the worst teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you just have to target - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This team of the gameweek is selected using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a monster 83 points total. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last six matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

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

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

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

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

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

He's 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 United (h)

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

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.
