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

The key call in the FPL squad of the week involves select no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

Our funds are needed to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City scored in 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you just have to attack - the leading team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of Last Week's Team Do?

No captain return but big points from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a massive 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and one in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

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

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

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

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

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset 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 bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds come into this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the AFCON.

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

Forwards

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

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

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

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

Subs' Bench
