Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

The major move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves opt for no Manchester City players - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds are essential to load up on Gunners players as they host one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must attack - the best side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is chosen based on current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster 83 points. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and one in their last six matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

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

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

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

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's created more chances than any other 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 opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this match following two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

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 been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
