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

The big move in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week is to opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Haaland!

Our funds are needed to go all-in on Gunners assets as they face at home among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the kind of fixture you must target - the top team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Squad Perform?

No captain return but strong hauls from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a monster 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, keeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (home)

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

Which would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a good pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the last two at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any defender in the league.

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

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

You can't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a cracking chance at Wolverhampton on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

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

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

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal player (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for Brentford this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three home matches.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with only three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

Hugo 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 United.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes

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