Selecting the Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? FPL Team of the Week

One big call in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves select no City assets - and yes, that includes Haaland!

The funds are required to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed a total of five goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Palace, who have the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you just have to attack - the top side in the league against one devoid of momentum, quality and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Team Perform?

No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge 83 points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those tight games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and one in their past six fixtures.

White is a great attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

Everton are unpredictable so this pick is more about the Blues'defence and Cucurella potential.

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

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times last season.

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

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two matches.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield

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

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

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

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

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

He's also the surest bet for game time as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rest his players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring fantasy player he is capable of being.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaEuropean defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds come into this game off the back of two great home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three goals for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been outstanding for Brentford this term, and has five goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Attack

Igor Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (h)

It has been a frustrating last few gameweeks for Thiago FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench

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