Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One big decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves go with no City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is essential to load up on Arsenal players as they host among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you need to exploit - the leading side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

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 chip.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Do?

No captain return but high points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

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

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, 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 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals 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 the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Strikers

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

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

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He is the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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