Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Pick v Wolves? FPL Team of the Gameweek

One major call in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves opt for no City assets - indeed, even Erling Haaland!

The budget is essential to load up on Arsenal players as they host one of the worst sides in Premier League history.

Yes, Manchester City smashed a total of five times on their last away trip, but now they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you must exploit - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

The team of the week is chosen using current valuations 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 strong scores from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Foden (12) and Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Boom!

FPL Team of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

The first Tyne-Wear derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be loud, passionate, combative - and it might be one of those games that is all drama but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the goalkeeper scoring charts, a decent option.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolves have one goal scored on the road this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he is given his chance. Having started the last two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more chances (19) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You can't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one all season - but the Cherries'goals have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's had 4 attempts, two big chances, a goal and an assist. He missed a great chance at Wolverhampton on Monday as well.

Midfielders

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

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that renders Saka, Arsenalbest offensive asset essential.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

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

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

More advanced this season, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

Fernandes might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Match-up proof, consistently a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a long layoff and we are aware what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as quickly as he has one good game, fantasy coaches will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the club managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this game off the back of two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but away from home they have conceded three goals for each one they've scored.

This is probably Ouattara final match before heading to the AFCON.

He's been excellent for the Bees this term, and has 5 attacking returns in his last three fixtures at home.

Forwards

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

It's been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with just 3 FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven home games. He's the best striker choice this week and, with a favourable run of games, you can select and hold until the January window at the very least.

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

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

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not arrived and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.

Substitutes
