Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

The key move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to select zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our budget are required to go all-in on Arsenal players as they welcome among the worst sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you just have to target - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three games.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

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

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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