Which Top 3 Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Gameweek

One key decision in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves go with no City assets - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds is essential to go all-in on Arsenal players as they face at home among the most struggling teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of 5 goals on their most recent away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal home to Wolverhampton is the type of encounter you just have to attack - the best team in the division against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

The team of the gameweek is selected based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Team Perform?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo resulted in a huge eighty-three points. Success!

FPL Lineup of the Week for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight for eight years is set to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches 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 shout.

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

An Gunners defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolverhampton have one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their last 6 fixtures.

White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, registered a 14-point return against Brentford and tops the way in that period among Arsenal defensive players with two key passes, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

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

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

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

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

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

You shouldn't have great hopes for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have just one all season - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

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

During that spell he's had 4 shots, two big chances, one goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfield Picks

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

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, the Gunners'best offensive asset a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

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

One point behind Bruno Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for minutes as the manager might view this as a chance to rotate his squad.

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

The Portuguese playmaker may have replaced Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first full 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has one good game, FPL managers will be flocking to bring him in.

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

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

Leeds come into this game following two great home performances against Chelsea and the Reds, but away from home they have let in three times for each one they've netted.

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

He has been excellent for Brentford this term, and has 5 goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

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

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the league and has seven strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He is the best striker choice this week and, with a kind run of games, you can select and hold up until the end of January at the very least.

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

Surely Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising striker, after his brace haul at Leeds.

He was well at the beginning of the campaign and you can't help but think what he could have achieved had a rival striker not arrived and competed with him for minutes at the number nine role.

The Bench
