Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One major move in this FPL team of the week involves go with zero City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome among the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you need to attack - the top side in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The squad of the week is picked based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Perform?

No captain return but big points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a huge 83 points. Boom!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

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

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and one in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

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

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

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 the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the top striker choice 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 & Hove Albion (home)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed well at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes
