Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One key call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to select no Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The budget is essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they host among the worst sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you must attack - the leading team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

The team of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge 83 points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past six matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

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

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games.

During that spell he's had four shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

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

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

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

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

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He missed the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in 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's been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three points in two games.

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

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

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

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

The Bench

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