🔗 Share this article Selecting the Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week One big move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves opt for no City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland! Our budget is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they face at home among the poorest sides in English top-flight recent memory. Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their most recent away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC. And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of match-up you must exploit - the leading team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief. The squad of the gameweek is picked based on current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit. How did The Previous Squad Perform? No captain return but big points from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a monster 83 points. Boom! Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16 Goalkeeper & Defenders Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h) This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is all drama but little clear chances. A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick. Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h) An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past six matches. White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home) Everton are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside. The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division. And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals last season. Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home) You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the last two games. More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the last 3 games. In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too. Midfield Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home) 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 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many. The Gunners will be rubbing their hands. Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h) One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so consistent for Arsenal. More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it. He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his squad. Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h) The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset. Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns. Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h) This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be. You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up. He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees. Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h) Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored. This is probably Ouattara final fixture before departing for the AFCON. He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home. Forwards Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds (h) It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two matches. Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least. Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home) Surely the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United. He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role. Subs' Bench Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
