Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One major move in this FPL squad of the week involves opt for zero City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are essential to load up on Gunners assets as they host among the most struggling sides in Premier League history.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they face Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you need to target - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

Performance of Last Week's Squad Fare?

No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

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, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

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

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

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

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

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

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

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

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

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

• Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
