🔗 Share this article Selecting the Three Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek The key move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to opt for zero Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Haaland! The budget are required to load up on Gunners players as they face at home among the worst teams in English top-flight recent memory. Yes, City scored in five goals on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of xGC. And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you just have to attack - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence. The team of the week is selected using current FPL prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip. How did Last Week's Lineup Do? No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a massive eighty-three points total. Boom! Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16 Keeper and Defence Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home) The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action. Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick. White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h) An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal scored away from home so far and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures. Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7. Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h) The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's potential. The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more chances (19) than any other defender in the division. And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign. Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h) You can't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two games. More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three fixtures. During that spell he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too. Midfield Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home) This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have. Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many. The Gunners will be keen to attack. Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h) Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal. With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name. He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this as a chance to rotate his players. Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h) Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset. Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns. Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home) This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being. You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in. He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton. Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home) Leeds United come into this game following two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted. This is probably the winger's last fixture before heading to the AFCON. He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home. Attack Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home) It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with only three FPL points in two matches. Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He's the best forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at the very least. Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton & Hove Albion (home) It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds. He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
