Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

The big move in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week is to select zero City assets - and yes, even Haaland!

The budget are required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they face at home among the poorest sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they take on Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolves is the sort of fixture you must target - the top team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

This squad of the week is selected based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Squad Perform?

No captain return but high scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those games that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

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

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

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

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defensive players with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are erratic so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some very advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'top attacking player essential.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

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 Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he is capable of being.

You sense that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to bring him in.

He missed ChelseaChampions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this game following two strong home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

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

It has been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for Thiago owners, with only 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.
