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

The big call in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget are essential to load up on Arsenal players as they face at home among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five times on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the type of match-up you just have to target - the top team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the gameweek is chosen using current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

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

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
