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

One big call in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to select no Manchester City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our budget are essential to go all-in on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in 5 times on their last away trip, but now they face Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of fixture you need to target - the best side in the league against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Team Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge 83 points. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League since 2016 is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it could be one of those matches 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 pick.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a must for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their past six fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at right-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defensive players with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

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

In those matches he's had 4 shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolves is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player essential.

No stats required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored 4 and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (h)

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

More attacking this season, he's created more chances than any Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager could see this fixture as a opportunity to rest his players.

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

Fixture-proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we know what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

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

He has been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has 5 attacking returns in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a disappointing last few gameweeks for Thiago owners, with just 3 points in two games.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in seven home games. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the January window at least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Subs' Bench
