Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One major move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves select zero City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds are needed to load up on Gunners players as they host among the most struggling sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you must attack - the top side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

The squad of the gameweek is selected using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but little clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two games.

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

During that spell he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rotate his squad.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to points.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

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

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

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

Leeds come into this match following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

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

Forwards

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with only three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home)

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
