Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

One major call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to go with zero City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

The budget is needed to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you must attack - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the gameweek is chosen using current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

Performance of The Previous Team Perform?

No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (19) than any other defensive player in the league.

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

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

You can't have high hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.

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

Midfielders

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

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

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is so consistent for the Gunners.

More advanced this season, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Strikers

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 games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He was great at the start of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

The Bench

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