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

One major decision in this FPL team of the week involves go with no City players - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our budget is essential to load up on Gunners players as they host among the most struggling sides in English top-flight history.

It's true, City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away trip, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you need to target - the top team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a monster eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good option.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defence and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the league.

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

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (home)

You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two matches.

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

During that spell he's taken four attempts, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a opportunity to rotate his players.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware 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 the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

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

He's been superb for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Forwards

Igor Thiago, the Bees, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

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

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace performance at Leeds United.

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not arrived and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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