Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One major move in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to select zero City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is required to go all-in on Gunners players as they host among the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City scored a total of five goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of match-up you just have to attack - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

The lineup of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

No captain return but big points from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's had four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

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

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware 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 the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

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

He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He's the best forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

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

Subs' Bench

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