Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The major move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves select no Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget is required to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host one of the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in five times on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of encounter you just have to exploit - the top side in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

The squad of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

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

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

Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He performed well 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.

Substitutes

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