Which Three Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

The major move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves go with no City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of match-up you must target - the top side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the week is picked using current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive 83 points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two matches.

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

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

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

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this match following two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

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

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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