Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Choose v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

One major call in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to go with zero Manchester City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget are needed to load up on Gunners assets as they face at home among the most struggling teams in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City scored a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you need to attack - the best team in the division against one devoid of momentum, technical ability and self-belief.

The team of the week is selected using current prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

Performance of Last Week's Lineup Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points total. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Keeper and Defence

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

The first derby in the top flight for eight years is going to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it might be one of those tight games that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have just 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 opportunity. Having started the past two games at full-back, registered a 14-point haul against the Bees and tops the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (19) than any defensive player in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times last season.

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

You can't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the last two games.

More importantly, Dalot has been getting in some incredibly attacking positions as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday night too.

Midfielders

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to pass up and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset a must-have.

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

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (home)

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

More advanced this term, he's created more chances than any other Arsenal teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as Mikel Arteta might view this as a chance to rest his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several routes to points.

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

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

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

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

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

Leeds come into this game following two strong home results against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his past three home matches.

Attack

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

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with just three points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best forward option this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the end of January at the very least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

He performed strongly 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 centre-forward.

The Bench

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