Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

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

Our funds is needed to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home among the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in five goals on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must target - the top team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

This squad of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

Performance of Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but strong points from Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Robin 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, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid shout.

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

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and one in their past six matches.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two at full-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's taken four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.

Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

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

This is likely Ouattara final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for Brentford this term, and has five attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago FPL managers, with just 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was strongly at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes
