Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

One major decision in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek involves opt for no City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds are needed to load up on Gunners players as they face at home among the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you need to attack - the best side in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has generated more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times last season.

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring 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 games.

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

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, 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, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 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 one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Dango Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

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

This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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