Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Select v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

The major call in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to go with no City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they host among the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-strongest 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 fixture you just have to target - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), along with a lucky sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo led to a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

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 games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their last 6 matches.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two at right-back, registered a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

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

During that spell he's taken four shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

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

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several routes to FPL returns.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full 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 a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be fresh for the Toffees.

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

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

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last three fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 home games. He's the top forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
