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

The big move in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the week involves select no City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds is required to go all-in on Gunners players as they host among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 times on their last away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you need to exploit - the best team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

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

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

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

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three games.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

One point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's punt, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (home)

Leeds come into this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker owners, with only 3 points in two matches.

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

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

The Bench

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