Which Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One major move in the FPL team of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

The funds is required to load up on Arsenal assets as they host among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in five times on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you need to attack - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has created more opportunities (19) than any other defender in the league.

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

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

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

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three games.

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

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's generated more chances than any Gunners 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.

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

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

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

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

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

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

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
