Which Three Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Week

The key decision in the Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek is to go with no Manchester City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is required to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome among the poorest teams in English top-flight recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in five times on their most recent away fixture, but now they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the sort of fixture you just have to attack - the leading team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but little clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a solid pick.

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

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal away from home this season and one in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent offensive threat when he gets his chance. Having started the last two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that time among Arsenal defenders with two big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five goals the previous campaign.

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

You can't have high hopes for a United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the past three fixtures.

In those matches he's taken four attempts, 2 big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too tempting to pass up and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is incredibly reliable for the Gunners.

More advanced this term, he's generated more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as the manager might view this as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

Fixture-proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with several ways to points.

Cole Palmer, Chelsea, £10.3m - the Toffees (h)

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

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to bring him in.

He was absent for ChelseaChampions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United enter this game off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've scored.

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

He's been excellent for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only 3 FPL points in two games.

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

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (h)

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

He performed strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at centre-forward.

Subs' Bench
