Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The big move in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves select no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The funds is essential to load up on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City scored in 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they meet Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you must target - the top side in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

The team of the week is chosen using current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last six matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You can't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last match before departing for the AFCON.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Attack

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just three FPL points in two games.

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

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

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

He performed great at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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