🔗 Share this article Which Three Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week The big call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves go with zero City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland! The funds is required to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory. Yes, City scored in 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC. And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you just have to attack - the best side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence. The squad of the week is picked using current prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit. How did The Previous Team Do? The captain didn't deliver but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster 83 points. Success! FPL Team of the Week for Fixture 16 Defensive Picks Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h) This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action. Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick. Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home) An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home so far and one in their past six matches. White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his opportunity. Having started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7. Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h) The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside. The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any defender in the division. And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals last season. Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h) You can't have high hopes for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games. Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games. In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday too. Midfield Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home) This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have. Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many. The Gunners will be keen to attack. Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h) Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal. More attacking this term, 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 fixture as a chance to rest his squad. Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - Bournemouth (h) Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset. Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points. Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h) This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring 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 was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees. Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home) Leeds enter this game off the back of two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've scored. This is probably the winger's final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations. He has been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches. Attack Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home) It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two games. Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least. Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home) It is expected that the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds. He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.
