Which Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The key move in this FPL lineup of the gameweek involves go with no City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget are essential to load up on Arsenal assets as they host one of the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City scored in five goals on their last away fixture, but now they face Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you just have to attack - the leading team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This lineup of the gameweek is chosen based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Fare?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a massive 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

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

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

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

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

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this game off the back of two strong 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 Ouattara final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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