Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Select v Wolves? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

One key move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to select no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds are needed to load up on Gunners assets as they host one of the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you must target - the best team in the league against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a massive eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts 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, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three games.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this as a chance to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

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

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds come into this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second top scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench
