Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One big decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are needed to invest heavily on Arsenal players as they host among the poorest sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you need to attack - the leading team in the league against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The lineup of the week is picked using current prices to fit within a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good shout.

Ben White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Arsenal defender is a must this week. Wolves have just one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, had a 14-point return against the Bees and tops the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, after scoring five times the previous campaign.

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

You shouldn't have great expectations for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

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

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

More advanced 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 most reliable for game time as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rotate his players.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (h)

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'European loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United 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 goals for each one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

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

He was well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.

Substitutes
