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

The key move in the FPL squad of the week involves go with zero Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds are essential to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the most struggling teams in Premier League history.

Yes, City scored in five times on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defensive record in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of fixture you need to attack - the best side in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

This lineup of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Lineup Fare?

No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance led to a monster 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is going to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has generated more opportunities (19) than any defender in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five goals the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last three games.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

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

No stats needed to support this pick. United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is so consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager could see 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, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player 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 loss at Atalanta, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this game following two great home results against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 home matches.

Attack

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

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench

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