Which Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One major call in this FPL team of the gameweek involves go with zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our budget are essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the poorest teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you must target - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and self-belief.

This squad of the gameweek is chosen based on current valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Performance of The Previous Squad Do?

No captain return but strong points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid option.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (h)

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home so far and one in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point haul against Brentford and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'goals have dried up in the past two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

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

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've scored.

This is probably the winger's last match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Strikers

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with just three points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven home games. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his two-goal performance at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes
