Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The key move in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves opt for zero Manchester City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds are required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home among the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored in five times on their last away trip, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you just have to attack - the best team in the division against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge 83 points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals last season.

Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

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

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (home)

Leeds United enter this match following two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the best forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
