Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Picks to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

One major move in the FPL lineup of the gameweek involves go with no Manchester City assets - and yes, even Erling Haaland!

Our budget are needed to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome among the worst sides in English top-flight recent memory.

It's true, City smashed in five times on their last away fixture, but this time they meet Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the kind of fixture you just have to attack - the best team in the division against one devoid of momentum, quality and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Lineup Do?

No captain return but big scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive 83 points total. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would render Roefs, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid shout.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past 6 matches.

White is a great offensive threat when he gets his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that time among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefensive solidity and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defence while he has created more chances (19) than any defensive player in the league.

And he hasn't scored yet, after scoring five times last season.

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

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have one all season - but Bournemouthscoring have dried up in the last two matches.

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

During that spell he's taken four shots, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had twenty-seven attempts at Wolves on Monday night, netted four and might have had double that.

The Gunners will be keen to attack.

Rice, the Gunners, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Rice is incredibly reliable for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any Arsenal 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 players.

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfielder.

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

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

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

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

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he should be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds enter this game following two strong home results against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably the winger's final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Attack

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

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

However, he's the second-highest top scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven fixtures at home. He's the prime striker choice this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the end of January at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot continues to start with the young Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He performed strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for minutes at centre-forward.
