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

The big decision in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week involves go with zero Manchester City players - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our funds is required to load up on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the worst teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored in five goals on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you need to target - the best side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

This lineup of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Squad Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive 83 points total. Success!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those games that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

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

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and one in their past six matches.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five goals last season.

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

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

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

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the top striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench
