Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One big move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the week is to select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds are required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they welcome among the most struggling teams in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed in 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of match-up you must exploit - the best team in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the week is chosen based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Perform?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance resulted in a massive eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal on the road this season and one in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, having netted five goals last season.

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

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

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

Midfield Picks

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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

More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this match following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes

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