Selecting the Top 3 Gunners Players to Select v Wolverhampton? Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Week

The big move in this FPL squad of the gameweek is to opt for no Manchester City assets - and yes, that includes Erling Haaland!

Our funds are essential to invest heavily on Gunners players as they face at home one of the worst sides in English top-flight history.

Yes, City smashed a total of five times on their most recent away trip, but this time they take on Crystal Palace, a side with the second-best defensive record in the division for goals allowed and fourth-best in terms of expected goals conceded.

And Arsenal hosting Wolves is the type of match-up you just have to exploit - the leading team in the league against one devoid of form, quality and self-belief.

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

How did The Previous Team Do?

No captain return but high points from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Phil Foden (twelve) and James Tarkowski (9), plus a lucky 16-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench appearance led to a massive 83 points. Success!

FPL Squad of the Week for Gameweek 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

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

This long-awaited derby in the top flight since 2016 is likely to be noisy, fiery, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal goalmouth action.

A scenario that would make Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a solid pick.

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

An Arsenal defensive asset is a essential pick this week. Wolves have just one goal on the road so far and a single goal in their last six fixtures.

Ben White is a great attacking option when he gets his chance. He started the last two games at right-back, registered a 14-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that period among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, 2 shots in the box and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

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

The Toffees are inconsistent so this selection is more about Chelseadefensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-strongest defensive record while he has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defender in the division.

And he is yet to score yet, after scoring five times last season.

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

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

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

In those matches he's taken 4 shots, two clear opportunities, one goal and an assist. He also missed a cracking opportunity at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfielders

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

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

No stats needed to back this up. United had twenty-seven shots at Wolves on Monday night, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be rubbing their hands.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

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

More advanced this term, he's created more opportunities than any other Gunners player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for minutes as Mikel Arteta could see this as a chance to rotate his players.

Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (home)

Fernandes may have taken over from Antoine Semenyo as the essential Fantasy Premier League midfielder.

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

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

This gameweek's differential pick, Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we know what an high-scoring FPL asset he is capable of being.

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

He was absent for the Blues'European defeat at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

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

Leeds United come into this match off the back of two strong home performances against Chelsea and Liverpool, but away from home they have let in three goals for every one they've netted.

This is probably Ouattara last match before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 fixtures at home.

Strikers

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

It has been a disappointing last few weeks for the striker owners, with just three FPL points in two matches.

However, he's the second goal scorer in the league and has 7 goals in seven home games. He's the prime forward option for this round and, with a favourable run of games, you can set and forget up until the January window at least.

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

It is expected that Arne Slot keeps faith with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds United.

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

The Bench

• Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
