Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek

One big call in the Fantasy Premier League team of the week is to select zero Manchester City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is required to go all-in on Arsenal assets as they host one of the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in five times on their most recent away fixture, but now they meet Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you just have to attack - the leading team in the league against one lacking of form, quality and self-belief.

This team of the gameweek is picked using current valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were using a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Team Do?

No captain return but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a monster eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be noisy, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Gunners defender is a essential pick this week. Wolves have one goal scored away from home this season and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

White is a fantastic attacking option when he gets his chance. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the past two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last 3 games.

During that spell he's taken 4 attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolves is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, netted 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this fixture as a chance to rest his players.

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

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, always a shout for defensive bonus points and with multiple routes to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy injury and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

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

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

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

Leeds enter this match off the back of two great home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely the winger's last fixture before departing for the AFCON.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five attacking returns in his past 3 home matches.

Strikers

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

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with just 3 FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He is the prime forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can select and hold until the January window at least.

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

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was great at the start of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

• Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
