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

One key move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to opt for zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is needed to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they host one of the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of encounter you just have to exploit - the leading team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

How did Last Week's Squad Do?

No captain return but high scores from Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Team 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 set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

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

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

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

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefence and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

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

Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

You can't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night too.

Midfielders

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

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

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's generated more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

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

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker owners, with only three FPL points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, 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 the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was strongly at the start of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
