Which Three Gunners Players to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Team of the Week

The key move in this Fantasy Premier League squad of the gameweek is to opt for zero City players - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our budget is essential to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they welcome among the worst teams in English top-flight history.

Yes, City scored a total of 5 times on their most recent away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, who have the second-strongest defence in the division for goals allowed and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you must attack - the leading team in the division against one lacking of momentum, technical ability and confidence.

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

How did The Previous Squad Do?

The captain didn't deliver but high hauls from Bruno Fernandes (18), Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), along with a fortunate sixteen-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo resulted in a massive eighty-three points total. Boom!

FPL Squad of the Week for Fixture 16

Defensive Picks

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

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is going to be loud, fiery, combative - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but little clear chances.

Which would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent option.

Ben White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

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

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - Everton (h)

The Toffees are unpredictable so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and the Spaniard's upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-strongest defence while Cucurella has created more chances (nineteen) than any other defender in the division.

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

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

You can't have high expectations for a United clean sheet - they have just one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the past two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some very advanced roles as a wing-back in the past 3 games.

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, one goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield Picks

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

This fixture against Wolverhampton is too juicy to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis needed to support this pick. Manchester United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and could have had double that.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

With more license to attack this season, he's generated more chances than any other Gunners player (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 opportunity to rotate his players.

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

Fernandes may have replaced Antoine Semenyo as the essential FPL midfield asset.

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

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

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes since returning after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

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

He missed the Blues'European defeat at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

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

Leeds enter this game following two great home results against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three times for every one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He's been outstanding for the Bees this season, and has five attacking returns in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Attack

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

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for Thiago owners, with only three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second top scorer in the division and has 7 strikes in 7 fixtures at home. He's the top forward option this week and, with a favourable fixture list, you can select and hold until the end of January at least.

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

Surely the manager keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his brace haul at Leeds United.

He was strongly at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had a rival striker not been signed and competed with him for playing time at the number nine role.

The Bench
