🔗 Share this article Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week The key call in the FPL team of the gameweek involves opt for no Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland! The funds is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host one of the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory. Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC. And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you must attack - the top side in the division against one lacking of form, quality and confidence. This team of the week is chosen using current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit. How did The Previous Lineup Fare? The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a monster eighty-three points total. Boom! Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16 Defensive Picks Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h) The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it might be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action. Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option. White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home) An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their last six matches. White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home) Everton are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's upside. The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league. And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season. Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home) You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two matches. Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games. In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well. Midfielders Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (h) This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential. Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many. The Gunners will be keen to attack. Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home) Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so reliable for the Gunners. More attacking this season, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his squad. Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h) The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset. Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to FPL returns. Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home) This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an explosive fantasy player he can be. You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up. He missed the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton. Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h) Leeds United come into this game following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted. This is likely the winger's final fixture before departing for the AFCON. He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home. Forwards Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h) It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only 3 points in two matches. Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least. Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home) It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United. He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
