Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One key move in the FPL squad of the gameweek involves opt for no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you must target - the leading team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

This lineup of the gameweek is picked using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and one in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the past two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times last season.

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 games.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton 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, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more chances than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a long injury and we know what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

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

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

Leeds United enter this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best striker choice for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
