Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

The key decision in the FPL lineup of the gameweek is to opt for zero City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget is needed to load up on Gunners players as they face at home among the worst sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of fixture you need to exploit - the best team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the gameweek is selected using current valuations to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Squad Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but big points from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and one in their last six matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four shots, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

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

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

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

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold up until the end of January at least.

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

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

He was great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench

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