Which Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

The big decision in this Fantasy Premier League team of the gameweek involves opt for no City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds are needed to invest heavily on Arsenal assets as they welcome among the most struggling sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, Manchester City smashed a total of 5 times on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the kind of encounter you just have to exploit - the top team in the division against one lacking of form, technical ability and confidence.

This team of the gameweek is chosen based on current valuations to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did The Previous Squad Do?

No captain return but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute appearance produced a huge eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

Which would make Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

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

Ben White is a fantastic offensive threat when he is given his chance. He started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while he has created more opportunities (19) than any defender 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 shouldn't have great expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two matches.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very attacking positions as a wing-back in the last 3 fixtures.

During that spell he's had 4 attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday as well.

Midfielders

Saka (C), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

This game against Wolves is too tempting to ignore and that makes Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, netted four and could have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

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

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more opportunities than any other Arsenal teammate (27) and has five assists to show for it.

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

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

Fernandes might have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for the Blues'Champions League loss at the Italian side, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

Ouattara, the Bees, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two great home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have let in three times for each one they've scored.

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

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has 5 goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven goals in 7 home games. He's the top forward option this week and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the young striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was strongly at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.
