Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The key move in the FPL squad of the gameweek is to opt for zero Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds are required to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their last away trip, but this time they face Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must target - the leading side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the week is picked based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

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

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's had four shots, two big chances, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

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

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds United come into this match following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the AFCON.

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

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
