Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One key move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is required to load up on Arsenal players as they welcome among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you must attack - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The squad of the week is chosen based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

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

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two games.

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

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

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

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

Leeds United come into this match following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

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

Subs' Bench

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