Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

One major decision in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to opt for no Manchester City assets - indeed, even Haaland!

The funds is required to go all-in on Gunners players as they welcome one of the worst teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, City smashed in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but now they meet Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals conceded and fourth-best in terms of xGC.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of fixture you just have to attack - the best side in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

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

Performance of The Previous Team Fare?

The captain didn't deliver but big hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (9), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance resulted in a huge 83 points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

The first derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it could be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make the Sunderland keeper, third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

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

An Gunners defender is a must this week. Wolves have one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last 6 matches.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his chance. He started the past two games at full-back, had a fourteen-point haul against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Gunners defenders with two key passes, two shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are unpredictable so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while he has generated more opportunities (nineteen) than any other defensive player in the division.

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

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

During that spell he's taken four shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

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

This fixture against Wolves is too juicy to ignore and that renders Saka, the Gunners'best attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

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

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

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

The Portuguese playmaker might have replaced Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's punt, Cole Palmer has his first full ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy injury and we know what an high-scoring fantasy player 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 missed the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be fresh for the Toffees.

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

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

This is likely Ouattara last fixture before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

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

Forwards

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

It has been a frustrating last few weeks for the striker FPL managers, with only three FPL points in two games.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the best forward option for this round and, with a kind fixture list, you can set and forget up until the January window at the very least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal performance at Leeds.

He performed well at the beginning of the season and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for minutes at centre-forward.
