Which Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The big decision in the Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to select no City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The budget are essential to invest heavily on Gunners players as they host one of the worst sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you must target - the leading team in the division against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

This squad of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Team Perform?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

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

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and one in their past 6 matches.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

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

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a cracking chance at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfield

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

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

No stats required to back this up. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

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

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

Cole Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury 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 sign him up.

He missed ChelseaEuropean loss 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 (h)

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven fixtures at home. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the young striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

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