Which Three Gunners Picks to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

One big decision in this FPL squad of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City players - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

The funds is essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home one of the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of five 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-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of encounter you just have to attack - the top team in the division against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

The squad of the week is chosen using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their last six matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

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

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

Fernandes might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

• Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
