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

One major decision in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is required to invest heavily on Gunners players as they host one of the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

It's true, City smashed a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you must target - the best team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

The lineup of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL prices to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Perform?

No captain return but high points from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo produced a monster eighty-three points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is all drama but little clear chances.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid option.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

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

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the past three games.

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset essential.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

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

More attacking this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

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

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

Fernandes may have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player 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 was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been superb for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a frustrating couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three points in two matches.

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

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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